Scores, work habits and notes.
How your school writes these.
A comment that fits any child says nothing.
Your prompt
Write comments per student. Tone: [your tone] Name something SPECIFIC in every comment: a piece of work, a moment, a change over the term. A comment that could be moved to another child's report is the thing parents notice, and it undermines every genuine one around it. Structure each the same way: what they can do, what is next, and how to help at home. The last part is what a parent actually wanted. Write about the work, not the child. "Struggles with fractions" describes a person; "is secure with equivalent fractions and is working on unlike denominators" describes progress. Use the fictional class only.

Why this works
A comment that could be moved to another child's report is the thing parents notice, and it undermines every genuine one around it. This names something specific per student and writes about the work rather than the child.
