[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure many HS teachers are reading here.  You might be better off contacting your school principal.  [/quote]

There are plenty of us on here.  And 99% of us do our grading, promptly and accurately.

This isn't a plea to "HS teachers" it's to ONE problem teacher.  This should be addressed with the administrator, not with this website of random people, who also could be teachers, but the vast majority of us DO our grading and feedback and such promptly.

Note that in a year where she had at minimum 8 teachers, there is ONE teacher you are pointing out.  That is 12% OF HER YEAR.  or 88% that did their jobs well.  [/quote]

Lengthy delays in grading are the norm in every MS and HS my kids have been in in MCPS. It's not just one teacher, it's usually 2-3 each semester.  It's a major source of teen stress.

I hope you are not a teacher.  You seem very angry.  Angry teachers are also a major source of teen stress.  [/quote]
If you are in MCPS the policy is that work turned in on time needs to be graded within 3 weeks. If it's less than that, the teacher isn't going against policy. Once you are past three weeks, let your student send an email to the teacher. If no action in a few days, then parent should email teacher and department resource teacher. Still no resolution? Then email the assistant principal over the department.

The only reason this is a source of stress nowadays is that students and parents have instant access to every grade as it is entered and are constantly calculating cost-benefit on level of effort for every assignment. In the good old days, you just had to work and study as hard as you could every marking period for the entire marking period, and your grade would be whatever you earned at the end.[/quote]
