[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the job is hard thus professionalism is not required.

No.

I get that you might not fix the poorly parented. I do want you to input the damn grades into Aspen tho. [/quote]

You get what you pay for.

Grade entry is the last thing on DCPS’s mind, especially when the concerns come from white parents. I would move on to a private if this is a major concern for you.  [/quote]

DCPS spends more per pupil than most jurisdictions.

Grade entry is a basic part of the job.  Teachers for whom this is “the last thing on their mind” should find another line of work.

I’d argue that a huge part of the problem that DCPS has hiring teachers is the systemic tolerance for incompetence and slacking.  Good people struggle to work in that environment.

In 4th grade, my kid had a teacher who didn’t provide any feedback for assignments  — like zero graded work returned at all.  The teacher explained that while he believed in assigning 4th graders a lot of homework, he didn’t have time to grade any of it or any class work or offer any feedback to the kids at all.   This was a teacher who was teaching a class of 17 students a half day at a 50/50 immersion school.  This was tolerated by the admin for years. This is the culture of DCPS.  [/quote]

Grade entry is a BASIC part of the job. Period.

And yes, my child didn't get work graded back in elementary school and when I asked the teacher definitely acted like it was some MAJOR craziness that I asked. Like how dare I ask her for feedback. Ma'am. [/quote]
