[quote=Anonymous]It really is a resource problem. I have the same student load, pay, and planning time, but to teach well and for your child to improve I have to assign lots of writing. Yet, I am staying later and bringing hours of work home than my colleagues. Some school districts in PA actually pay for graders because they require x amount of writing assignments. We don't have that luxury in VA. I just started using a voice recognition software to speed up my comments, but I have a two young kids, dinner to put on the table, and laundry to do, too. Pay me more than the gym teacher or give me less students. Even if the comments are slow, it is still better that your child is being required to write. If I were required to have a particular turn around time and I was held to it, I would assign less writing. Don't hate the teacher, hate the system. Best thing you can do as a parent is encourage your child to read his/her writing aloud to you and use the rubric. [/quote]
