Are you kidding?

I grade 6 days a week. I have to track 15 assignments x 170 students. That’s 2,550 stapled sets of paper I need to comment on, document, and return every 9 weeks.

And they never come in at the same time as students regularly turn in late work. So I have to track that.

I have to track accommodations for about 1/3rd of my students, so that’s 50 students who receive different work or different testing accommodations. And it’s legally mandated that I must do this correctly. So that means one test can have 5 different versions and have to be delivered in different ways (digital instead of paper, orally administered, 25% extended time, 50% extended time, large print).

And curriculum? I don’t get to pick my classes. I have to learn a new one every 2-3 years, adapting it to fit my style and my students’ needs.

I’d fail as a teacher if I didn’t have laser-sharp attention-to-detail and meticulous organization.[/quote]
