When I was a TA in college I’d grade papers in pencil and then pass them on to the prof to give the final grade and usually if I was off it was by a + or -.
One afternoon I’d just sat down to work on some papers having put it off long enough and the phone rings.-pre-cell days- A man is cold calling for time life books, BOOKS OF THE WORLD detailing countries history culture etc, each volume a different culture and we’re starting with the USSR in todays world you need to know about this country.
I said I’m sorry but I’m sitting here grading college papers asking is Stalinism an extension of or perversion of Leninism.
there was a long pause. then he said “I guess these aren’t for you then.”“Probably not, goodbye.”
It looks like the eager young teacher is a bit behind in her own homework. I can not imagine anyone having enough students to produce those piles of paper in one day.

I often had stacks of assignments that high to evaluate as a fifth grade teacher, but in preschool? Can the students even write in preschool?

I found running “A Few Good Men” on an endless loop helped.

Nice of her parents to find a way to help relieve the tedium…and they’re probably singing on-key as well!

Glad she’s happy with the concert. Grading papers, I preferred the radio, which I could turn off if it annoyed me.

I fondly remember students who demonstrated an advanced vocabulary. They were gems.
