[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get why there is an obsession to give so many activities and assignments that count towards the final grade. Adults cannot be continuously *on* for so many hours a day, why do we expect that from kids? Assign less, then you will have less grading. On the other hand, if an assignment is so important for learning that it has to be given and has to count toward their final grades, then teachers clearly need to grade it on time, so students can learn from their mistakes in timely fashion.

Because if you don't grade it, they don't do it.  And if they don't do it, they don't learn it.  Not every kid is an intrinsically motivated AP student.  At the higher levels, I grade less.  [b]At the lower levels, kids need immediate, daily feedback[/b].[/quote]

It would certainly be nice if they got that.  This thread is about classes where kids do not get immediate feedback or timely feedback at all.  As the parent of a 7th grader, I can say that some of his teachers give immediate timely feedback and others haven't given any feedback at all yet.  [/quote]
