[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you would like to volunteer for an experiment to grade 150 papers with feedback comments in 30 minutes while simultaneously eating your lunch because this is what we are tasked to do EVERYDAY thank you very much [/quote]

THANK YOU!

I now roll my eyes at the posts that say it’s a teacher’s job to deliver prompt feedback. If it’s my job, then my employer should be giving me time at work to do it. I get 30-45 minutes a day of “free time”, during which I need to: 
Eat lunch 
Grade papers (140 students)
Respond to emails 
Update student reports 
Plan for the next day 
Actually visit the bathroom 
… and “other duties as assigned”

So I end up grading every night and at least one full day every weekend. I resent giving up all my nights and weekends in order to fulfill such an important aspect of my job.

Want it done? Make it part of my work week. Won’t do that? I’ll follow all the other teachers out the door.

I’m done making this job my whole life simply because we expect teachers to give everything. Heck, there’s another thread on DCUM right now where posters are telling a govt worker she shouldn’t be forced to work outside hours. If she shouldn’t, why should I?[/quote]
