I’m sure that most teachers will agree, grading is one of
the least favorite parts of the job. I
have found that if I grade once a week and get everything caught up on that day
it is fair for me as well as my students.
They all know that every Sunday their grades will be caught up. I chose Sunday mornings because I can get up
early when the house is still quiet and just go into my office. I don’t have to worry about t distractions and
don’t feel like I am keeping my self secluded from my family.
One of biggest challenges I have though is keeping myself
focused. I have so many “tabs” open in
my brain, I have to keep closing them so I can complete the task at hand. For whatever reason, I am a list keeping
kind of guy. I write lists down of what
I need to accomplish, then I can check them off as I finish them. I am not sure if I started doing it just so I
can feel good about myself because I am actually getting something done or
because I forget everything that is not written down. Although, sometimes I cheat and write
something down on my list and check it off even after it is done. For instance, today’s blog entry was not on
my list, but it just came to mind. So,
I just wrote it down so I can check it off.
