sorry random thought. but i just remembered grading exams as a TA last year and the professor said “oh dont worry about the multiple choice i have my kids grade those” and i was like that is the strangest thing ive ever heard this is an advanced biochemistry course and shes having her 7 year old daughter help grade. so i mentioned this to my parents as a funny anecdote and they were confused by my surprise….having forgotten that my grandparents were all teachers. they were both like “oh yea i helped my parents with grading all the time, my older siblings did the multiple choice and i did the true/false.” so apparently teachers using their children as junior grading TAs is normal across generations.
#i do feel like professor vs school teacher is different tho since professors have TAs and normal teachers dont#so the child labor is probably more in need and the content would be easier presumably#also i honestly love the fact that all 5 (including my grandpas second wife) grandparents were teachers#my maternal grandpa got photographed for some big news outlet about teacher strikes in like the 70s and that picture is still hanging in the#house. he also has some of the most incredible anecdotes about teaching in a big city public school and knows the most random people
