The premise
Teachers can't deeply grade everything; AI helps decide which work earns rich feedback and which doesn't.
What AI does well here
- Categorize assignments by purpose (formative, summative, practice)
- Suggest which categories deserve narrative feedback vs. quick check
- Draft the rubric short-form for the rest
What AI cannot do
- Replace the relationship feedback builds
- Decide what students need from a specific teacher
- Make grading less emotionally heavy
