[Gllug] counting subdirectories

[stanley]

Hopefully this will be an easy one for most,
	For my university coursework I have been asked to create an alias that will
count and display the number of subdirectories in one directory, and so far
the best I have managed is

alias dc="ls -1aF | grep "/" | wc -l"

this work but also includes the parent and root directories in the count.
Anyone with any tips.
TIA

Stan
