Can we talk about using AI to grade papers and the weird guilt that comes with it?
My tip is to run the AI scores but then read a few yourself to check... It helps balance speed with knowing you didn't just trust a machine with a kid's work.

Spot checking sounds good but it's still letting a robot make the first call on a kid's effort. That personal story the AI missed? What about all the other papers where a small human moment gets overlooked because it wasn't in the spot check batch. Grading should be about understanding each student's path, not just checking a box for most of them. It starts to feel less like teaching and more like quality control on an assembly line.

Your tip to run AI scores but then read a few yourself CHANGED my mind. I used to think using AI for grading was just taking the easy way out. But after trying it, I found that spot-checking let me catch things the AI missed, like a student's personal story that the machine didn't value. Now it feels like a smart helper, not a replacement, and that weird guilt is mostly gone.

Still seems like outsourcing the hard part. If you're only spot-checking, most papers get judged by a machine that can't really read. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a teacher grade them.
