[quote=Anonymous]Op here!  Thank you all for you candid and honest responses.  I can guarantee this is not a case of my DC lying…DC’s grade is fine in the class…he has had to work really hard because DC typically doesn’t perform as well on tests and relies upon DCs written work (which is better than DC’s multiple choose testing skills) to pull up his grade.  That is how this came to light..,because DC couldn’t rely on any of his written work to help his grade since 1st marking period.  I see blanks spots in the grade book for the last two marking periods where assignments were handed in and not graded or tests were bifurcated in the grade book and only the multiple choice part has a grade.

DC has also stated that they don’t get any feedback in class on these assignments …just never see them again.  This DC frustration that DC has no clue how DC’s writing is versus what is expected on the test!

This problem sounds impossible to solve…how are teachers supposed to get it all done.  Has this always been how it is in the teaching profession…or has something changed to make it harder to grade?  For the teachers responding that have taught for the last 25 years…have you been doing this crazy work life balance that long?  Or has something changed?  I personally agree that the no fail policy in FCPS is crap and not doing students or teachers any favors!  Wish there was something i could do to help![/quote]
