Memos from the command post.

Why grading takes me so long:

mllehazelwood:

1. Read a page.
2. Shake my damn head.
3. Sit in disbelief that someone thought this was good.
4. Check the internet to clear up my head.
5. Finish reading paper.
6. Craft a long letter to the student (average of 400 words) where I try to find something to praise and yet ultimately tell them why this is not good.
7. Shake my head. They won’t even take the time to read my letter.
8. Start again.
