[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend teaches middle school and she has appr. 120 students each day.  On most days, they had in homework and classwork for her to grade.  That's 240 assignments to grade daily.  They also have quizzes once per week and a test every few weeks plus a project every few weeks.  She has one 50 minute free period per day to plan and grade.  You do the math.[/quote]

So when does she grade all those tests and papers?  Does she save it up until the end of the semester and grade everything in one mega-work-weekend?   Or does she grade it every week?[/quote]

She said she tries her best to have everything done within a week but that is only possible b/c she spends quite a few hours over the weekend and 1-3 hours outside of school hours during the week to get it done.[/quote]

So that would be roughly equivalent to a 40 hour week?[/quote]

Um, no.  She is contracted to work 7.5 hrs per day.  She spends an hour before school and at least an hour or two after school grading, planning, etc.  Add a few more hours on the weekend and she works 45 hrs a week minimum including at least 7-8 hrs where she isn't being paid.  She had her Master's plus 30 and she earns in the mid $50k range.[/quote]
