I have 15 classes, KS3 and 4. On average, 24-26 kids in each class. The marking policy is to 2stars &wish each book once a month. We have to include so much in each session: the level they are at, how to get to next level, spelling errors, punctuation errors, behaviour and attitude.
My KS4 books, same needed, and coursework to mark on top of this. I must write almost a third of an A4 page of comments for each child.
I have no life. I get almost nothing else done. I can't cut it down even though my husband doesn't believe that I need to do so much and I cannot keep up with it all.
