I was about to say this. Also, the school gives you ample notice to make other arrangements. Sounds like the school takes care of its teachers by giving them plenty of time to work on 1st quarter grades? Good for them.[/quote]

Are you really this dense? Grades are automatically and quickly calculated these days using various tools. This isn’t 1953 where the teachers sit there with an abacus to figure out grades. (Though ironically, schools in 1953 actually operated full time during the school year). [/quote]

For one thing, writing still has to be graded by hand. Scantron tests have been around for a long time, but if you’re at all interested in the kids learning to think critically, you want exams that are not multiple choice and require the kids to solve more complex problems and show their work. If you’re into 100% IXL learning or simply using AI to grade papers I guess it could be 100% automated, but I doubt very many people would go for that.

Second, how do you know that schools operated “full-time” in the 1950s? I don’t have any old schedules, but I’d bet that because almost all mothers were stay-at-home in that decade there were likely very limited aftercare options. [/quote]
