def most_classes(my_dict):
max_count = 0
teacher = "" # teacher variable holds the name of teacher with most courses
for i in my_dict:
if len(my_dict[i]) > max_count: # if the current teacher has more courses than max_count
max_count = len(my_dict[i]) # reassign the max_count
teacher = i # reassign the name of this teacher to teacher variable
return teacher
