How often did you get assigned a 5 page paper back in high school? Even in english class my senior year I cant remember doing more than 2 "major" five page papers all year. The teachers normally took about 2 weeks at the least to grade those. From what I remember regarding peer editing/revising we never spent more than 15 minutes doing a full edit/revision. Assuming a teacher would have much more experience with knowing what to look for when grading (and not putting suggestions and changes like a normal edit/revision would call for). That two week period there leaves for a good amount of time to get that done even during their non-class periods in the school day.
