  Case: Grade Dumping
Student A has not receive any assessment grades for the entire nine week period. Toward the deadline of the reporting period the entered fifteen assessment grades in one day. The teaching then inform student A that there are four missing assignments that resulted in a low academic performance and the student has only two days to turn them in.
What should be the ethical and practical ramification of providing feedback?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The school and county administration should have strict policies in place that hold teachers accountable to grading promptly. However, now teachers are held to high expectation of getting grades in quickly by parents due to infinite campus apps that automatically inform students and teachers about grades that are put in. At my school, teachers are required to have grades put in for progress reports every 4 weeks.
