I am a teacher. I have only seen my B day students once so far this school year .OF COURSE there aren't any grades yet. I can't believe there are already multiple threads about grades and grading, and that parents are implying teachers are already falling behind on grading since there are no grades yet. It is insanity!

Chill out, no one is complaining or implying anything. You are so freaking paranoid. Just asking where the gradebook module is on SIS. I just checked and it indeed is not there.

Check the other threads. There are implications.

You are indeed also implying so,etching when you are even looking for the gradebook on the third day of school. Why even look for it so early in the year unless you are expecting something to be recorded already?

Well one of the language teachers said there’d be a quiz next week already even though no materials have been given and kids didn’t even have their laptops. The exact date wasn’t specified either, just a nebulous “next week.” I went on to see if the date would be listed in the gradebook. Sometimes teachers put the date in there early.

Teachers are so annoying and they don’t even have reading comprehension. No one is complaining about grades not being up yet. People are just wondering where Gradebook is.

Teachers are annoying? There’s the pot calling the kettle black.

Teachers are knee-jerk defensive. Asking the location of the gradebook module in SIS is perfectly reasonable, but ask any question, even tangentially related to grades, and all you get is “HELICOPTER PARENT!!!!” and “WHY DO YOU HATE TEACHERS?!?” It’s is tiresome.

The defensiveness of teachers when parents ask any questions, even innocent ones, is why they can’t truly partner with parents. If teachers would relax and not get bent out of shape when a parent asks questions, things would go a lot smoother. They need to realize we are on the same team and want the best for our kids.

I’m a teacher and we just haven’t even loaded the gradebooks yet because the days before school are busy, rosters are changing, and we aren’t hitting any actual content until probably after Labor Day because we have intro stuff, benchmarks/diagnostics, etc to get through first. At some point when we have a chance we will load the gradebook and you’ll see it.

The teachers I've seen get bent out of shape are the ones who are asked questions that are none of a parent’s business or that question professional knowledge. I haven't seen teachers get bent out of shape (very often at least) for innocent questions.

On DCUM, I have seen parents post about so many topics that are none of their business, such as:
-- Why was the teacher absent?
-- Why did this teacher move schools? Were they asked to leave or was it choice?
-- Is this teacher married?
-- Is this teacher LGBTQIA+?
-- This teacher doesn't even have kids. Why is she taking family leave?
-- I saw my kid's teacher buying wine at Giant. Is that really appropriate for a teacher?

I've also seen parents questioning educators' professional knowledge and instructional methodology. Just because we all went to school ourselves doesn't mean we know how to teach, so I find it highly offensive for parents to question the professional regarding their practice and expertise. There are so many people who seem to think they know better than the teachers, so I don't blame educators when they become defensive about their professional work. These same people are probably the ones who think they are better diagnosticians than physicians are, better litigators than attorneys, more talented athletes than Olympians, and so on. I can see why teachers run out of patience for those people!

Speak for yourself. My HS kid had multiple graded assignments by Wednesday. It is clearly teacher/school dependent. I wish she had teachers like you who take it slow but, sadly, she does not.

The homework and lessons kick in after that and still have many assessments speckled in there— no unit tests yet. Please land your helicopter, Op.

Three weeks of team-building is for K-2. Everybody else is starting work by the second week.

HS by day 3 and AP HS Classes on day 1. The teacher said it's because they have to be done by April for review for the May test.

So why did my HS kid have a timed/graded essay yesterday and a quiz today?

Because your kid is having an experience in one class that differs from what happens at my school. Incredible, isn’t it.

The gradebook module will be available in parentvue and studentvue on Tuesday 9/5.

That may even be a conservative estimate!

This site isn’t representative of the entire community of parents in FCPS. Just because there’s an anonymous post on here, that should affect how a teacher deals with a parent in person.
