[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an English teacher (but not at Churchill).

My department has hired 11 new teachers in the past 3 years, far more than any other department in the school.

Discipline is a problem, but it’s also the grading. A stack of essays can take 30 hours to grade and that time isn’t built I into our schedules. Basic paragraphs can take 5-6 hours to get through the whole stack. The grading workload isn’t sustainable.

I started cutting and pasting them into chat gpt along with the rubric.  It is not perfect but if you have good detailed rubric with required evidence chat gpt does a pretty good job at grading and giving feedback with some teacher editing here and there.  You can’t do it in on a MCPS device so I bring my personal laptop.[/quote]

In other words, you don’t want to actually do your job.[/quote]

I am not an English teacher, so I haven’t tested it enough.  For my courses which tend to be more technical it works well for short paragraphs.  I haven’t tried it for longer things.  I did use it for writing a summary paragraph for a 5 page report. I found it ok at summarizing something I my self wrote.  I wouldn’t recommend it for creative writing.  I also don’t recommend it for any using math.  I showed the students all of the wrong math work it puts out.  I did mention that I could see it being used as a rough way to get started if a student doesn’t know how to begin a essay, but turning in that work by itself might get only a C or D and most and teachers would recognize the robotic like writing style immediately.[/quote]
