[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] Are you actually providing any feedback on the papers? If so, I can understand the time constraint. But, I've noticed that teachers don't provide feedback on essays, and they certainly don't seem to fix grammatically errors, so it seems to me teachers are just speed reading through the papers.[/quote] Yes, my DC has received zero feedback on papers unless it's a simple mark on a rubric without explanation.[/quote]
