No posted grades until interims

[Anonymous]

High school English teacher posted no grades this quarter until this morning when interims are due and then about 10 assignments posted. Are teachers allowed to do this?

This happened to my child today as well, but they also reported knowing the scores from Canvas. So, they went up today in the format that pushes an automatic email to parents, but kids knew their scores earlier and could have course corrected if needed.

OP here - in my case graded assignments weren’t on Canvas either.

They are not supposed to and I would recommend emailing the RT and assistant principal about this. Unfortunately, this is happening more often because teachers are stretched thin with all the tasks they are being assigned by administration. Teachers used to be able to focus their time on lesson development, grading and feedback. Now time is being wasted on useless meetings, documentation of documentation, and focusing a tremendous amount of attention on no show students and those that don't do anything. Teachers should be posting grades regularly but I see how some fall behind and have a hard time catching up.

Teachers need to grade so kids know how they are doing. No excuse for this.

You are free to get certified then and help out.

I’ve spent many years in a lower paying similar profession. I did my time. And, I have helped out a lot at our schools. Why don’t you?

I taught and your lower paying similar position doesn't compare. You can help out all you want at our schools, but until you have the actual experience of teaching, you don't know what you are talking about. It is a completely overwhelming job - 60-70 hours per week to keep up with the job.

It happens and there isn't really a consequence for teachers that do this, unfortunately.

DD's teacher has nothing but one homework posted although there have been about 20 assignments.
At least you have the current grade.

Ha. I do. I teach. Believe me. If she had the time she would have. You didn’t do any time. You have no idea.

NP. I do think it's impossible for many teachers to find time to grade and enter grades especially if they are doing more than multiple choice.

The teachers that do autograded assignments usually input their grades faster as they don't really provide feedback but if you're talking about an English teacher or someone that has to read 100 pieces of writing for each assignment it gets really hard to find that time.

Several of DC's teachers were working over the weekend, presumably for free, to get their grades in.

Same - no grades at all in Synergy until Friday. The canvas module was only published a week ago. Everything to this point was on paper. Everything except for one assignment handed back three weeks ago was graded this weekend. He was absent for two days in a row and emailed the teacher to ask what was missed. The teacher said she would excuse the work. But she forgot to excuse the assignments. No chance to make up work before interims, but today the teacher said he can make up the missed assignments now.

Well, bring that experience into a classroom. We need you to show us how it’s done.

I was up at 4am grading today. I graded for about 7 hours on Sunday. I’ll be at it again about 9:30 tonight.

I get my grades posted regularly, but grading is all I ever do. I’m starting to really admire the teachers who put work second to their own lives.
