[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If teachers are working 70hrs/week grading, can someone explain to me why my child has no grades entered into SIS for English and History?   [/quote]+1. No grades in Civics.  It’s almost October. [/quote]

As I posted above: you may have a teacher who isn’t going to work more than their paid hours. Some teachers will work dutifully during the school day, but they aren’t willing to give their nights and weekends to the job anymore. There’s a growing argument that those of us who are willing to work around the clock are actually enabling school systems, who then expect even more blood from stone.

My own kids have high school teachers who haven’t put grades in. I get it, and I can’t fault them. Sure, it’s annoying. But if we want grading done in a timely manner, then we need to provide time at work to get it done. [/quote]

Haven't these teachers had enough days off though to do said grading?

I am done with the excuses! Grading is essential to getting a basic education.[/quote]

Yes, it is essential!! So essential that teachers should be given WORK time to get it done.

Teachers are increasingly not willing to be martyrs. I am a martyr, but I’m getting a ton of pressure not to be. I perform well, but it takes me 7 full work days a week to do that. I put in two full work days this weekend. My coworkers are increasingly angry at me because I am the reason we’ll never get the workload fixed; as long as there are people like me, the system will continue to abuse teachers. And I’m starting to see it their way.
