When my kids were in 1st and 2nd grade, they did at least 10 different papers (math, handwriting, spelling, social studies, science, etc) a day. Multiplied by 20 students = 200 per DAY! All of them were graded and corrected by the teacher. Now that my daughter is older (5th grade) her teacher has them swap papers and correct their peers' papers for spelling and math, but she has the longer, more intensive tests and written papers to read. We get a packet of about 20 papers back every Monday. I think she corrects all of those on the weekend... over 400 papers per weekend could be daunting.

The gym teacher has it a little easier though.
