  "transcript": "i teach 11th grade english. 140 students. and the thing nobody outside teaching understands is that the teaching part is maybe a third of the job, and the other two thirds is a paperwork machine that grinds you down until you have nothing left for the kids.\n\nwhat changed. i can plan a differentiated lesson in a fraction of the time, because i describe my class honestly, the four kids reading below grade, the two who are bored out of their minds, the ones who need it visual, and i get a plan that accounts for them instead of the generic one i'd have adapted badly at 11pm.\n\nfeedback, and this is the big one. i can give every student real, specific written feedback now instead of a checkmark and a grade. i do not have it grade anything, i want to be clear about that, the judgment is mine and always will be. but i read the essay, i note what i think, and it helps me turn my scrawled reactions into feedback the kid can actually use, in the time i have, for all 140 of them instead of the 30 i could manage before.\n\nparent emails that used to take twenty minutes of careful diplomatic wording take three.\n\nand the point of all of it is not efficiency. the point is that i now have energy left at 3pm to actually sit with the kid who's struggling, which is the entire reason i took this job and the exact thing the paperwork was eating.\n\ni'm not naive about what these tools are doing to student work, that's a genuinely hard problem and my colleagues and i argue about it constantly. but on the teacher side of the desk, this thing gave me back the part of my job i actually love.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[1 upvotes] You may want to also consider posting this on our companion subreddit r/Claudexplorers.\n\n[8 upvotes] You teach 11th grade English and don't use proper capitalization?
