DP. And if they ignore the parent as well? From my experience, teachers who ignore the students, will ignore the parents. Typically, this is an indication of a widespread culture or what they are allowed to do. Sadly, it means administration will most likely ignore you too, or find solutions that don’t make much difference. It is a sad reality at many schools.

DP.

I agree with you: this is a sad reality at many schools. It stems from the job’s requirements, though. Teachers aren’t given time at work to grade, meaning that this integral part of their job competes with their home obligations.

Many teachers work around the clock These teachers are burning out and quitting because of the unsustainably of the workload. That leaves the teachers who refuse to work past contract hours, meaning the work doesn’t get done.

The solution to this is to provide time at work for grading, but that’s not a priority to school systems. As long as there are teachers willing to give up home lives and as long as parents don’t complain, this will just continue. [/quote]
