[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slow/incomplete grading is a huge problem in FCPS that negatively affects learning at the lower grades and college opportunity at the higher grades. The issue will not improve, however, until teachers decide to shift their priorities. Yes, they are overworked, but they are choosing to not grade in order to cope. [b]Chose to not do something else that doesn’t have such a direct negative effect on students. [/b] Alas, they won’t as we see from these comments time and time again. It’s almost as if they don’t care. [/quote] Such as? Pray do tell, oh wise one.[/quote] NP and I’ve stopped going to a lot of the “mandatory” meetings, like team meetings, faculty meetings and PD. I’ve also started working from home during some of my planning blocks so I can’t get pulled in a million different directions. I have one at the beginning of the day so I arrive late. Neither of these are allowed at my school and I didn’t ask permission to do either. I just started so I can focus on my actual work and nothing has happened. I’ve been teaching over 25 years. If they want to push me out for focusing on students then I’m okay with that. It’s time for me to leave. [/quote]
