[quote=Anonymous][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]
This is reasonable, but there are only so many hours in a day, and class coverage is taking priority.

This was sent to us at our school recently:

[i]Class Coverage
Cooperation is expected. Many hands make light work.

It is not optional.

Content specialists deliver coverage slips daily.

Staff are not to discuss, complain, or negotiate with the secretaries.[/i][/quote]

I would never work in a district like that. My union says it is optional to cover for another teacher. I say no thanks. [/quote]
