[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's great if schools have the resources to get tutors for students who need them. Not all families have the resources for tutoring services even if they are not lower SES[/quote]

Mcps used to offer free tutoring for all.  Few used it.  Our school has no resources for help.  My kid is struggling, [b]teachers don’t grade it respond[/b], several are barely there this year, random curriculum and we were refused an iep.  So what other option do we have but tutor?[/quote]

lack of feedback. teachers in HS don't have time to give feedback to 160 students.[/quote]

That’s their job and they teach 5 classes, some 4, so no where near 160 except arts teachers.  [/quote]

My neighbor teaches 142 students and not only does she do her job, she does the job of other teachers who have quit. She gets maybe 1-2 planning periods per week when she isn’t subbing or attending meetings. She takes days off to recover. [/quote]

This is real. You assume a teacher has 25 students and 5 classes that’s 125 students. Now assume an assignment takes 5mins to grade.  142*5=710mins \60mins =12 hours to completely grade 1 assignment.[/quote]

Thank you for seeing this. I just finished hour six of grading today and I’ll put in another 3-4 before I quit. Spending weekends grading is the only way it can get done. [/quote]

It depends on the class.  Our English teacher has lots of grading but other teachers don't actually look at the assignments or its unclear what they are doing or minimal assignments.  Some are autograde online.[/quote]
