We’ve had 13 days of school. How’s the new grading policy going?

Are you seeing the changes you hoped?

Hasn't been much any work.

Some teachers aren't keeping up with deadlines, according to Canvas.

One of my coworkers is insanely far behind on grading to the point they asked me to do their grading for them. I politely declined and said it would not be fair for me to evaluate and provide feedback to students I don’t teach. That was the nice version of what was going through my head.

No idea. Teachers are not posting assignments or grading them on time.

Blame the teachers. Business as usual. Pay no mind for the fact that they need like 80 hours to do a proper job. It's a churn and burn profession with no respect.

Exactly. I spent most of my weekend grading. My family was out enjoying the fall weather while I sat at my dining room table for two days.

My morale is in the basement and I’m extremely worried about my health, but my grades are up to date.

Or, they need to do self grading assignments online and learn to use the systems provided better.

Then, if something is going on quit or take a leave of absense.

Should all of us quit or take a leave of absence? Because this isn’t merely MY problem. When you have 150 students and no time to grade, it becomes your weekend work. Every weekend. Most of my colleagues were working, too. And the health issues? It’s chronic stress and many of us deal with it.

Who do you think is replacing the teachers who take your advice?

Should I just have AI grade essays for me? As a parent, do you accept that as a solution?

You make it sound like real health issues. Stress is not. Some of us have real health issues. I wish it were only stress.

There are always new teachers.

Last year out English teacher did that. Several of our kids got flagged for cheating when they did not. If ai were better sure. At least it would be less subjective.

DCUM: stop whining and give multiple choice quizzes on the computers our taxes paid for

Also DCUM: only lazy teachers have assessments on computers. Keep my kid off the screens.

Never DCUM: evaluating learning is complex and high roster numbers make it challenging to grade quickly in a meaningful way

As a teacher the most unworkable part is the whole Z = missing but able to be made up. We can telling admin that there is now way to out Z’s in canvas. So it requires us to manually spend the time unlocking, and editing individual assignments in Synergy. Way too cumbersome especially when you have multiple preps and 150 students. I have just given up and don’t bother.

They fire hoards if real certified teachers every year who refuse to fraud the numbers. Now they replaced them with fired feds with no experience and they have new policies to not fraud the numbers. What happens when the fed fake teachers realize how the sausage is made and start seeing the violence and don't know how to cover that up. It's going to be interesting to see this play out.
