[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, when I taught in FCPS I kept grades in a book for myself that was always up to date. I didn’t upload anything to the computer system until report card time. I wasn’t even told parents could see a grade book on the computer. I would just assume either it’s a new teacher who wasn’t told or just a teacher who was never trained on that. But maybe they have a nice grade book where they can see grades and input then later. I’m sure they’ve graded things and recorded those grades somewhere since that date. But on the flip side it’s possible you have a lazy teacher but every job has some lazy people. But I’d give them the benefit of doubt. [/quote]

How long ago did you teach?  We've had live grade books close to 10 years, and went through hours and hours and hours of mandatory training how to use it.  We are told we need to enter 1 grade per week for minimum 9 per quarter.  "I didn't know" is not a valid excuse.  My SBTS runs queries once in a while and will send emails if your gradebook is out of date (though I assume not all SBTS do this).

The reality is time is precious and teachers can plan, grade, or sleep (pick 2).

And before anyone fusses at me, I'm home on a sick day and on DCUM in between updating grades.[/quote]
