[b]How do we convince[/b] admin to look at the data and put pressure on the 10% who are terrible at maintaining their paperwork, to make them file lessons/assignment/grades properly? [/quote]

Who is “we?” Your power begins and ends with your votes for school board. Take the ego down a notch.[/quote]

Board members are going to get in there to tell teachers to grade?? Ha! But you could communicate with Taylor to let him know your principal(s) are not making sure their teachers are grading on time/actually entering AND synching grades on time.[/quote]

Nobody is making sure teachers have time to do any of that.[/quote]

In the case of professional jobs, employees are expected to manage their own available time to complete their assigned work by the deadlines provided.[/quote]

Teachers don't have "their own available time."  [/quote]

Yes, they do.[/quote]

When?  When do they consistently have time during their work day that isn't taken over by meetings, covering for colleagues etc?[/quote]

Sounds like the same challenges any salaried professional faces. [/quote]

No, not “any” salaried professional. I’m not buying that.

Grading, planning, responding to parents, updating data, checking accommodations, attending meetings… these are all critical parts of our job. Added together, those tasks are comfortably half our job; it’s the half that makes our time in the classroom run smoothly.

We may receive 30 minutes a day to get it done, and it can easily be over 4 hours of work. And those 30 minutes are often taken away by some last-minute need, like covering for a colleague.

So teaching relies on off-hours. Not occasionally. Always. Every single day.

Yes, this happens to SOME other professionals. Again: nobody is disputing that. And that’s not okay for them, either. If your job demands many of your home hours to get essential work done, then you’re being taken advantage of as well. [/quote]
