[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the parent who wrote that I support the teacher above.

I want to add though that parents are frustrated, just as you are, because this isn’t working.

Not enough and timely feedback makes for poor educational outcomes.

Not enough time makes for poor teacher mental health and quitting.

So see, we are on the same team. Let’s stop villifying teachers and parents and find some solutions![/quote]

+1.  I also think there are at least three categories of teachers (at least at the Me and HS level):
1) great teachers who are either incredibly efficient or out in a lot of hours and are just phenomenal
2) teachers who are good teachers but are clearly drawing boundaries in their life and as a result can’t really get stuff back to the kids in a timely manner which is frustrating but the fault of the system that doesn’t give them enough planning or grading time.
3) teachers who have either given up or are not very good.
I’d like a system that allows (1) and (2) the time to get the work done well without sacrificing their personal lives, so we don’t just end up with (3). [/quote]
