The 10th of October was the last day of our first quarter and so on the 9th I gave my big end of the unit test as well as collected a huge lab report we had been working on for the past month. Well since grades were due first thing Tuesday morning, the 14th, I had basically only four days to grade:
- 1,560 short answer test questions which included a lot of detailed math problems
- 585 pages of lab reports (130 reports which had on the average 4.5 pages)
Oh but the fun did not stop there. For reasons unknown to the common teacher, our district insists on having parent/teacher conferences the first week of the second quarter. So from Tuesday through Friday morning, my team held 35 conferences before and after school. On Thursday the kids get out early and so we had conferences from 1:00 until 8:00 that night with only two 20-minute breaks.
I must say I am a little brain dead right now....

Wow, I can't imagine 1:00-8:00! Our parent night is this Thursday, we go from 5:30-8:00 and from 1:00-3:00 on Friday afternoon. Man, seven hours straight would be brutal.
Ugh.
I'm stealing a fellow teacher's MO: cut off grades the week before the grading period is over. That way you have a week to get the grades in, kids have time to make up work (if absent) or remediate tests (if your district forces you to allow students as many chances as possible). And you don't have to stare at a weekend of tests and projects.
We lucked out on parent conferences this year, since our school didn't really advertise parent conference night much... and admin never told us to contact parents to set up appointments, so I barely had 4 parents show. Got some grading done that night!
Yikes ! Your school is worse than mine. We are in the middle of parent conference week.....a time when we are on "half-days" (noon dismissal for the kiddies), and homeroom teachers schedule conferences with parents to go over the state test scores from last spring that parents recieved during the summer, three week old report card grades, giving parents a number of papers to read on their own about district testing, state standards, at risk and retention policies and signing the Title 1 required Parent-School-Student Contract thingie..... Overall, usually a huge waste of time for most parents. OF COURSE, the parents of the kids who really need to be discussed, don't usually show up. This year, I have less than 25 of these conferences to space out over the week. The bulk of them are completed....THIS is not something I'll miss after I retire from teaching someday......
