- jfengel 2y agoTeachers definitely do not enjoy grading. I don't know if it keeps anybody out of the profession, but it's definitely a complaint once they're in it. Grading adds hours to the teacher's work day. School might be in session for only 6 or 7 hours, but between lesson planning and grading, teacher days are often 10-12 hours long. I don't know if they'd be any happier turning the grading over to a computer. But a complete redesign of education that called for a lot less grading of homework and tests... a lot of teachers might enjoy their jobs a lot more, and make the profession more attractive.
