#i do feel like professor vs school teacher is different tho since professors have TAs and normal teachers dont

[unganseylike]

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.
