3 a.m. thoughts on grading papers in the dark
The fluorescent buzz in the staff lounge sounds louder at this hour, like it’s judging my underlined run-on sentences. I keep catching myself rewriting feedback in my head—"This argument needs more texture, not just volume"—but what if the kid just needs someone to say, "Yeah, that’s weird, and it’s okay that it is?"

Grading at 3am? That's when the real work happens. Sometimes all a weird argument needs is a good binding - hold the weirdness together and let it breathe.
