EducationGrading & Assessment3MediumTeacher$ implied

Teacher is frustrated by the slow, manual process of grading student essays and short stories, which is very time-consuming, especially when peers use AI and don't read or engage with student work.

Existing grading methods are either time-consuming manual reading and commenting, or using AI/quick skimming which lacks meaningful feedback and real engagement with student writing.
