Quizzes, tests, examinations, essays, homework, or papers are evaluated and/or graded, returned, and reviewed promptly with the student. Teachers are expected to grade each assignment and post grade to the electronic gradebook within seven school days after the due date with the understanding that major projects/papers may require additional time to ensure quality feedback.  If more time is required to provide feedback, teachers will communicate notify students in advance of the project due date.[/quote]

And this would be completely reasonable if they gave us at least some of the time needed to do this, without taking all our planning time away, not to mention requiring hours of extra work outside of work hours for b.s. duties and training that they keep adding on because people at Gatehouse need to justify their jobs by adding on initiatives and reporting requirements, and policies that let students off the hook and put the onus on teachers to somehow compensate for what students should do but are failing to do.

Don't do the other work. Do the grading. Tell them the truth: Because it directly and immediately supports kids. Dare them to fire you. They won't. [/quote]
