No, grades need to be put in weekly. Teachers should send a weekly email to parents on assignments and what they are learning.

No, they shouldn't. Do you have any idea how many emails that would amount to, depending on the teaching assignment?

If the policy is to enter grades every two weeks, then that's how often they should be entered. Op could ask the principal how often grades are supposed to be updated.

Its not unreasonable to ask teachers to keep up with grading. This is why kids are failing. They aren't getting the support they need at school or home and parents are in a tuff spot if they don't know but are trying. Stop being lazy.

Two weeks is more than normal - it’s in the grading policy actually - Some might enter them more frequently if they don’t provide any feedback.

Sounds like a planner might be helpful? They usually give them out at each school.

If your kid has a D that means they didn’t start the quarter off well. The teacher already put the grades in for interims.

Don’t harass anyone anymore about grades. No one can do anything except the teacher. And obviously they know about it. And will do it.

Parents need to know about the grades so THEY can do something about it.

Teachers are provided with very little (if any) planning and grading time during the day. You are calling teachers lazy because they aren’t giving up all their nights and weekends.

Demanding that teachers give up their own lives to grade papers clearly isn't working.

She needs to be more on top of her assignments. You are over-involved here.

In this example, the parent is actually enabling the kid to be lazy. They know they don’t have to be on top of their assignments and grades, because their parent will come clean up after them. Kids need to feel the accountability.

That would be great but not all kids are there yet. Maybe since you are the perfect parent you can get our kids to be as perfect as yours.

We hold our kid accountable but we also check daily and its a nightmare as assignments are not in there, I email the teacher and they say its done and then two weeks later we find out its not. I don't know why my kid is being difficult as they are capable but they are and I'm not going to let them fail (and yes, there are consequences at our home).

So it's ok for the daughter to be late but not the teacher?

If the "policy" is bi-weekely, why aren't teachers being held to follow this?

Taylor, do you know why *some* of your teachers are not enterng grades when they are required to.

Instead *some* teachers scores and sync grades on the last day they can. For ex, take Quarter 1 which ended Nov 1 - teachers were entering scores on Nov 4 for assignments completed more than two weeks before Nov 4. What if a student didn't do well on an assignment, if the assignment was graded on time, the student could get tutoring or worked with teacher or parent to better understand the assignment/content.

Where did I say they shouldn't keep up with grading? I said if their school's policy is every two weeks, then that's how often it is. They are keeping up if that's the policy.

I disagreed with the weekly email.

Then you need to address this in the IEP. I got a weekly grade report for my ADHD kid. That was far easier than for my other kids.

When DD has a 60+ hour per week job, like her teacher does, she can be late with her work. It would be totally understandable.

You seem detail-oriented with a keen understanding of education. Why don't YOU DO SOMETHING and become a teacher?

Yes Principals and Taylor,

Give teachers time to actually do work at work! Stop demanding that they spend their nights and weekends fulfilling essential tasks. If these tasks are so important, teachers should be given time to do them.

(PP, stop putting this on teachers. Grading gets done when we find time, which almost always comes at the expense of our own families and our own health.)
