[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think teachers should be punished for late grades, but I do agree that they should prioritize getting things back to students earlier. If a student gets a C on a test but doesn't find out about it until weeks later, that seems like a missed opportunity to actually ask questions on what they got wrong and try to fix their errors of thinking before the next batch of assignments/tests. Perhaps there should be fewer assignments or less cr*p for teachers to focus on so that they could focus on providing feedback, one of the major mechanisms of student learning.[/quote]

The point of school is to "LEARN". I mostly feel this is lost especially at the middle and high school level. It shouldn't be a race to cover material so the teacher can say, "well I got through all of the required material". Grading in a timely manner and providing feedback is critical to actual learning.

A little OT but why do elective teachers like PE get paid the same as an English, History, Math or Science teaches who have hours of work outside of class (i.e., grading to complete etc.)? Same goes for special education which is a really hard job. [/quote]
