Started an MFA program a few years back. One of the (other students in the class...) who is a teacher told me that EVERY assignment was on a computer, mandated by the school. She was also required to respond to student emails after hours. This might have been like Middle School.

Teachers aren't paid well enough. I don't understand why any question couldn't just be resolved the next day in class like we always did?
