wanted to see how long grading actually takes me so i timed myself yesterday

5 minutes per paper if im moving FAST and not writing much feedback. just checking answers marking things and moving on

i have 95 students. thats almost 8 hours of grading for ONE assignment

and we wonder why teachers are burnt out

ive been teaching for 6 years and i still havent figured out how to make this faster without just not grading things? which obviously isnt an option

what do veteran teachers do? is there some secret im missing or does everyone just sacrifice their evenings and weekends forever
