Setting the same assignment to 5 classes when it involves marking 5 pieces of written work each, all on the same topic, all tedious in the extreme. I have one class to go and am fast losing the will to live - well certainly the will to mark - but then I never had that.
Lets do the maths. 5 classes - 30 pupils in each class. 150 pupils. Each producing 5 pieces of work that's 750 pieces of writing - only 4 of which are totally excellent and deserving of praise from on high - no, not God exactly, I can only get documentary evidence from the headteacher so that is where I have gone.
