Everything a school does in a week

An assistant at the teacher’s desk and another in the office — preparing, remembering and following through, so the hours go to teaching.

Records, allotment, attendance and the year itself.

A teaching week is a stack of jobs that are not teaching. Attendance, homework, notes for the next class, papers to set, sheets to mark, parents to tell, a period to cover.

Now they arrive done.

Paperhint carries them. An assistant at the teacher’s desk and another in the office, preparing the next class, marking every sheet the same way, telling parents itself and holding the year’s records in one place — so a school moves at a pace hand-work never reached.

Where the week goes

Teaching is 22.7 hours of a 41-hour week.The other 18 are the reason we built this.

  1. 7.4h Preparing lessons

    Notes and question papers, drafted for your syllabus

  2. 4.6h Marking and correcting

    Answer sheets scored on your rubric, from a photo

  3. 3h Administrative work

    Attendance, records and the messages home

The remaining hours go to parents, counselling, teamwork and duties — the parts of the job that should be a person. That is the international average; an Indian week is its own shape, and we would rather measure yours than guess it.

Six places, one week

This is what setting a week of homework and marking one test looks like today.

Your school’s shelf, not your own folder

Share a note and it reaches everyone on your school’s email, so the next teacher starts from your work, not the internet.

What a school wants

Six things the office does by hand, every year and every day.

An office that runs on asking

Classes, sections, students and staff in one portal — every module driven by asking, not by finding the right form.

Configure the timetable, and every teacher has a calendar

Pick the class and section, set the week, and schedule it once. Every teacher’s calendar fills with the periods that are theirs — and a change in the office is a change on their day.
