[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i don't understand how a teacher can be behind on grading material from December when we had almost a full week of snow days, plus multiple two hours delays--tons of free time to get grading done.[/quote]

Teachers have to get grading done on their own time. We aren’t provided any time at work to do this, so the entire system relies on teachers’ willingness to work off-hours.

I agree that work should be returned in a timely manner. I’m a teacher and a parent. I know what it is like to wait 6 weeks to see updated grades because I’ve had to do it. Yes, it’s frustrating and it’s wrong.

But I know what teachers are up against. I get my grades done quickly, but I sacrifice my own family to do so. A lot of teachers aren’t willing to do that anymore, and some teachers share the belief that working conditions will only become reasonable when teachers refuse to sacrifice nights and weekends. I think we’re seeing the impact of that.

The solution is to give teachers time at work to grade. It’s really the only solution if we want to keep teachers and get grades done quickly. [/quote]
