I'm Obsessed With My Own Gradebook...

Anonymous Smitten Trickster #982 · General

As a math teacher at the local high school, I've always prided myself on being professional and fair with my grading. But lately, there's this weird obsession building inside me about checking the gradebook... not just for my own class performance or student progress, but just to see how others are doing. I'll find excuses to log in after hours and check grades of other teachers' students too... it's like a guilty pleasure addiction to numbers. Is that normal? Am I secretly an amateur data analyst or is this some sort of creepy teaching thing where you feel weirdly connected to kids who aren't even yours? Anyone else ever obsess over their gradebook for no good reason? Please tell me there are other obsessive teachers out there.
