[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend teaches middle school and she has appr. 120 students each day.  On most days, they had in homework and classwork for her to grade.  That's 240 assignments to grade daily.  They also have quizzes once per week and a test every few weeks plus a project every few weeks.  She has one 50 minute free period per day to plan and grade.  You do the math.[/quote]

So when does she grade all those tests and papers?  Does she save it up until the end of the semester and grade everything in one mega-work-weekend?   Or does she grade it every week?[/quote]

She said she tries her best to have everything done within a week but that is only possible b/c she spends quite a few hours over the weekend and 1-3 hours outside of school hours during the week to get it done.[/quote]

So that would be roughly equivalent to a 40 hour week?[/quote]

Oh PP. I teach at a public school and my base hours are 35/week required to be in the building. You can't arrive at your start time and be ready to teach, so almost everyone is there early. I'm at school at least 45 hours a week, plus work from home. Cool it on the lazy teacher thing. It's old.[/quote]
