[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a massive shortage nationwide so when you bully teachers who are taken advantage of already it exacerbates the shortage and highlights the mismanagement.[/quote]

This has nothing to do with the topic.  The expectation is ten days for students and teachers.  Teachers need to set an example. [/quote]

I get your point. Teachers should set an example. The problem is a teacher’s role and a student’s role aren’t equivalent.

A student is responsible for one person: themselves. They do the work for one person. When a task is assigned, they do it one time.

A teacher may be responsible for 170 people. When a task is assigned, the teacher reviews 170 of them.

A student may receive time during the school day to get work done (study halls, study time during class). A teacher does most work at home.  [/quote]

As a teacher, they choose the assignments and if they are done on paper and hand graded (except english) or autograded via online.  Your job entails grading.  You are hurting your students by not grading, giving feedback and helping them grow from that assignment.[/quote]

I understand the importance of grading and I provide many comments in a timely manner.

It’s completely reasonable to explain HOW this occurs, though. I receive no time at work to grade, so it all gets done at home. This isn’t 1-2 hours a night. It’s more like 3+ and weekend shifts.

We need to acknowledge WHY grades don’t get done: because teachers have to choose between grading or taking care of their own families. This isn’t an excuse. It’s just reality.
