Bad Teachers

what is ORD?
Army term for \"about to leave or retire\". Teachers in that mood, well... -
vinegar:
Perhaps only for the multiple choice questions, and only if a detailed analysis (each child's wrong questions, the class's wrong questions, etc). For sections that require writing, the teacher who teaches the class require intimate knowledge of what went wrong. My students, for example, know me as the teacher who refuses to treat a capital letter \"C\" as a capital letter if it is not twice the size of the \"h\" that follows after it. A bit anal, I know, but it fosters good habits of writing in the student.perhaps the school shld consider outsource the markings...

Teachers do not get to enjoy quality of life if they are given so much work…preparing lessons and quality marking require time…if they can be taken off non-core stuff and perhaps having lesser meetings as well as CCA involvement, they can keep passion for teaching in the school. A friend’s hubby worked 12 hours daily as a teacher so that he didn’t have to bring marking home…6am to 6pm.

I want to be home earlier (at least be present) so I took my marking home, marking them till anywhere from 10pm (happy!) to 2am (dead tired). -

marking at home is comfort but it's taking you away from the family...but when you're done, at least you know you are already at home. 2am?janet_lee88:

Thankfully, 2am is rare. 11pm to 12am is more common. -

How do you strike a balance between work and family if working till 11pm is common? Never burnout? How about weekends? -

It is very hard for teachers to stop all work at 6pm. Almost impossible. -
TheAnswer:
That is why I left. I must say, though, that the MOE of today is different from the one I left in 2002. Teachers teach less periods, and there are more support for them with their work. However, some things, like the tons of never-ending marking, never seem to change.

Marking is a teacher’s worst headache…1 class of 40 x number of classes x diff level. Yet there are some teachers who can still moonlight.
