[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school English teacher posted no grades this quarter until this morning when interims are due and then about 10 assignments posted. Are teachers allowed to do this?[/quote]

They are not supposed to and I would recommend emailing the RT and assistant principal about this.  Unfortunately, this is happening more often because teachers are stretched thin with all the tasks they are being assigned by administration.  Teachers used to be able to focus their time on lesson development, grading and feedback.  Now time is being wasted on useless meetings, documentation of documentation, and focusing a tremendous amount of attention on no show students and those that don't do anything.  Teachers should be posting grades regularly but I see how some fall behind and have a hard time catching up.  [/quote]

Teachers need to grade so kids know how they are doing.  No excuse for this. [/quote]

You are free to get certified then and help out. [/quote]

I’ve spent many years in a lower paying similar profession.  I did my time.  And, I have helped out a lot at our schools.  Why don’t you?[/quote]

Well, bring that experience into a classroom. We need you to show us how it’s done.

I was up at 4am grading today. I graded for about 7 hours on Sunday. I’ll be at it again about 9:30 tonight.

I get my grades posted regularly, but grading is all I ever do. I’m starting to really admire the teachers who put work second to their own lives. [/quote]
