Geometry teacher not grading homework. Is this a "thing"?

@jayhawk1 Hardly impossible? I’d love to see you try and grade 150 assignments on top of a full day of work, along with lesson planning for 3+ different classes every single day. I would love to have the time to check all of my students’ homework problems and write comments explaining their errors for every problem, but it’s just unrealistic given all the demands on my time as a teacher. Also, I don’t see why it’s unreasonable to expect students to make corrections to their own work as a teacher reviews homework with the entire class. Further, while it would be great for teachers to be able to root out every single problem every student is having with the course material, again, there just isn’t time. The best thing parents can do is teach their kids to ask if they don’t understand (whether that be in class, after class, before class), because then teachers know for sure that there is a problem and can address it.
