"Teacher Hu, Teacher Gu has also been busy with substitute teaching lately. You need to deal with your own problems. Even though she's an assistant, that's no excuse to push your work onto her."
Without waiting for Hu Xiuqiao to explain, the principal reprimanded her.
He had heard everything from outside. The morning's test papers weren't given to Gu Jiaojiao until that evening.
This clearly wasn't the first time.
In those days, teachers graded test papers and homework whenever they could find a spare moment. Morning tests were graded during the lunch break. Afternoon tests had to be taken home or graded by coming to school early the next day.
There wasn't much downtime. Every teacher was very responsible, with a heavy workload they had to handle themselves.
