The one who grades the homework but never does any.

means A person or system whose job is to judge the quality, value, or performance of something against some standard.

from Traces back to Latin 'valere' — to be strong, to be worth something — which gave French and English 'value.' Add the prefix 'e-' (out) and you get 'evaluate': to draw the worth out of something, to pin a number or verdict on it. The '-or' ending just names the agent doing that pinning — the one standing over the thing, extracting its worth whether it likes it or not.
