[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know how long it would take to give written detailed on every essay for every student?[/quote]

And yet somehow in the past it was done. Homework was also graded and corrected. Boggles the mind. Guess time was slower then. [/quote]

Teachers weren't bogged down with the mindless BS they have to do now. I had one planning period this week to myself. One. I called a parent and graded a few things. I didn't have time to write any lesson plans so I will spend hours on it this weekend. My mom used to teach and she never wrote a lesson plan. That's what the teacher's manual was for. She'd flip the page and teach the next lesson. She did this for every subject. One spelling test per week and an occasional math/science/social studies test. She wasn't chasing down student assignments and calling parents all of the time. If the kid didn't hand it in, they got a zero. She didn't need to document evert attempt to contact the parent. She didn't need to create retakes and grade them. My mom walked into school 15 minutes before the kids and left 15 minutes after the kids. Nothing was done at home.[/quote]
