Best invention of all time. Now I can put off all of my weekend work until monday morning, instead of Sunday night.
I came home this weekend with a backpack that weighed 50lbs. I don't resent grading at all. What I do resent is grading busywork. Work that we have assigned only to keep students busy- and that we grade only to make students prove they were busy.
I know I'm not supposed to penalize students' grades because of behavior. I fail to see how this is not exactly what I'm being asked to do.
It's really starting to grate on my nerves how little of my time is actually spent teaching. Between the parties and the walking in line and the recess and the PE and the dismissal and the "SIT DOWN" there's just not enough actual instruction going on. The school day needs to be about half the length it is. I'd rather teach the material with urgency, and go home.
