For anyone who might be keeping track, it takes an intermediate teacher two to three hours to grade a single, simple writing assignment for a full class of students. With at least 10 assignments during the year, that calculates to around 30 hours outside of the school day. Just in the grading of writings - not counting other writing assignments and other subjects - teachers add three to four days worth of work to the school year.
