High school teachers are given an unreasonably short deadline (18 hours) to grade final exams and submit final grades, which is especially impossible for English teachers who must evaluate lengthy written work.

The school's grading deadline is unrealistic for thorough assessment of written work, and no tool exists to speed up grading while maintaining fairness and accuracy.
