[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like you hate it and I can’t imagine what you are like at work with kids and parents. Full of drama I guess. It’s weird that you harp on all this extra work you slave away at but then rationalize that somehow you will still be an excellent teacher if you drop grading and become teacher G or OPs child’s teacher.  You may have the capacity but you won’t be an excellent teacher by doing that. It really isn’t an option at the high school level to not grade so you are just making unnecessary drama. You know OPs teacher is going against FCPS policy and not doing her job well but are throwing a tantrum about unrelated work to this discussion anyway to stir things up. You know you don’t have to do extra grading work because you have OPs teacher as an example of one that doesn’t grade and no repercussions. High schoolers need grades. Thank god for AP classes that have actual tests so teachers and school systems can’t just do whatever they want without getting national recognition through lowered scores.

[b]If you are an English teacher, the state of Virginia actually limits those classes on average for the school to 1:20 because the grading is more intensive. If FCPS is not following that is on them. [/b][/quote]

Okay. FCPS English classes frequently have 28-32 students. If a teacher should.have 5 classes of 20 (100 students)  they probably instead have 5 classes of 28-32 (150 students). That's a massive difference. [/quote]
