[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would stop posting about late grading. It is clear in every single thread that teachers will not be changing anything, no matter what the effect on students. It's sad, but it's just how it is in FCPS. [/quote]

Meh. My kid is a senior in FCPS. Out of 26 teachers (7*4, but he had 2 of them twice) there was only 1 teacher who didn't grade things in a reasonably timely fashion. Daughter is a freshmen and all 7 (none the same as DS!) have been fine with grading.  Sometimes quizzes take a week or two to return, but that seems reasonable.  Oftentimes the grades are in the gradebook ahead of getting them back as the teacher waits for absent kids to make it up.

I think the squeaky wheels are just...really squeaky with their complaints.[/quote]

Are they not legitimate complaints?

I get student work back (with comments) as fast as I can. Do you think it’s fair that I have to give 2-4 hours every weeknight and 15-20 hours every weekend to grading? Is that acceptable to you?

It’s not acceptable to me. I’m tired of watching coworkers burn out and quit. These are people who wanted to teach, but could no longer keep up with the conditions. It’s brutal being “on” all day with no breaks, simply to come home to do the rest of your job.

Be grateful for your kids’ teachers. That work in the gradebook took sacrifice. [/quote]

No, I meant squeaky parents are whiny over an issue that isn't as widespread as people say.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous how many hours of overtime teachers are expected to work.[/quote]
