Extra bonus fun is when the teacher waits 10 days and then says "I don't have your assignment, you get a 0" after the kid handed in the assignment on the due date.

I would suggest looking at Canvas. If an assignment was posted there, it may be graded on Canvas and the assignment was just not put into StudentVUE / Parent VUE yet.

Also, if there was an assignment in Canvas, double check that your student completed it in Canvas. You should be able to see the day and time that the assignment was submitted. If more than 10 school days have passed, I would contact the teacher.

I only mention checking in Canvas because sometimes our students will say they did it, but maybe not necessarily on time.

All that being said, teachers should be sticking to the policy.

This has nothing to do with the topic. The expectation is ten days for students and teachers. Teachers need to set an example.

I get your point. Teachers should set an example. The problem is a teacher’s role and a student’s role aren’t equivalent.

A student is responsible for one person: themselves. They do the work for one person. When a task is assigned, they do it one time.

A teacher may be responsible for 170 people. When a task is assigned, the teacher reviews 170 of them.

A student may receive time during the school day to get work done (study halls, study time during class). A teacher does most work at home.

As a teacher, they choose the assignments and if they are done on paper and hand graded (except english) or autograded via online. Your job entails grading. You are hurting your students by not grading, giving feedback and helping them grow from that assignment.

I understand the importance of grading and I provide many comments in a timely manner.

It’s completely reasonable to explain HOW this occurs, though. I receive no time at work to grade, so it all gets done at home. This isn’t 1-2 hours a night. It’s more like 3+ and weekend shifts.

We need to acknowledge WHY grades don’t get done: because teachers have to choose between grading or taking care of their own families. This isn’t an excuse. It’s just reality.

This is true. So many interruptions at school constantly. There are always kids in my class during lunch. Grading and planning mostly happens at home. Yesterday, the psat training took me an hour. Also, teachers of juniors have many college recommendations to write which is also all done at home. I still try to get my grades in within the 10 day rule but it is very stressful
