[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an English teacher (but not at Churchill). My department has hired 11 new teachers in the past 3 years, far more than any other department in the school. Discipline is a problem, but it’s also the grading. A stack of essays can take 30 hours to grade and that time isn’t built into our schedules. Basic paragraphs can take 5-6 hours to get through the whole stack. The grading workload isn’t sustainable. [/quote] I'm sorry but grading essays for students is nothing new. All of my high school English teachers did the same thing and they gave good feedback. I know this sounds snarky but who did you think was going to grade student essays when you decided to be an English teacher? I'm pretty sure that the general teacher schedule (5 classes, two planning periods) hasn't changed in 30 years here in MCPS. [/quote] It's the number of planning periods lost to "emergency" class coverage that puts a real dent in things.[/quote]
