[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Delayed grading is well-known issue in FCPS. It directly harms students, who need feedback in order to learn. But the situation will never improve because there are no repercussions for the offending teachers. And teachers will get extremely defensive if the topic is even broached here turning an appeal for more timely grading into some type of "anti-teacher" position. Watch how quickly this thread derails.

The kicker is that some teachers are great with on-time grading, proving that it can indeed be done by those teachers who prioritize providing feedback to students.

You post almost the exact same thing on every thread.  Just stop, or start directing positive, realistic solutions to the people who have the ability to change things.  What do you want to have happen? Teachers who don't grade on time get...detention?  (I'm sure a day off to grade would be lovely!) They get fired? (I bet a revolving door of subs will grade on time!)  They get fined? (They'll quit, see: sub issue)

I agree, it's an issue, but penalizing teachers isn't going to solve anything.  The whole system needs to be overhauled.  The teachers who grade on time ALL are doing work on nights and weekends.  If that is the expectation for teachers then I don't know why anyone is going into the profession.  It should be doable in an 8 hour work day.  States where grades are uniformly in on time have powerful unions that protect planning time, class sizes, and provide usable curriculum so planning time doesn't have to be 99% planning, some can be grading.  FCPS has none of that.

And there it is. [/quote]

NP: do you ever think you hear the same response repeatedly from multiple posters because it’s true?[/quote]

That wouldn’t occur to her/ him.  Stupid people are not flexible thinkers capable of self-awareness.  They find a bullhorn and shout incendiary things and make ridiculous proposals, like building a wall between Mexico to keep out immigrants.  [/quote]

Sounds like a specific party that's banning books....keep them ignorant is their way![/quote]
