[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should not be checking grades twice a day, that’s nuts. [/quote] Having constant access to grade books is a problem. I station myself behind students when laptops are out so I can make sure they are on appropriate sites. I can’t tell you how often students check grades within one class period. Some check every 2-4 minutes. It’s not healthy. We’ve devalued learning itself and places far too much emphasis on scores. I receive parent emails constantly, sometimes 5 minutes after I input grades. If I’m inputting a low grade, I’m also reaching out to that student to see what additional help is needed. That’s how I operate. Often I don’t even get that chance because the parent takes over, creating more work for me as I now have to solve the problem on two fronts. [/quote]
