Christye,

I'm relieved to find out that I am not the only one with this problem.  It
seems that my load of paperwork is especially huge while on the word
processing, database, spreadsheet, and Desktop Publishing units.  It seems
to never end.

I did shorten my load somewhat on spreadsheets by only grading the last few
assignments.  In the Horizons book, you use the same file(s) and add to them
in each lesson, so that allowed me to check earlier lessons while reducing
my stack somewhat.

I, too, would be interested in advice from some of our veteran teachers.
Always,

Donna Green
