Report card comments
Pick report card comments from Peabody’s bank of 306 for free, then ask for three new wordings of the ones you chose. The student’s name stays on your computer.
How to use it
- Choose the area and kind of comment, and tick up to three comments from the bank. Copying those costs nothing.
- To get fresh wording, press Write three new wordings.
- Type the student’s name in the box on this page to see it in place; the name never leaves your computer.
Ideas for class
- Start from the bank, and ask for new wording only when the bank’s feel too familiar.
- Mix one strength and one growing comment for a balanced report.
- Keep the wordings you like in your own document for next term.

Questions
Why the bank first?
Most report card comments don’t need AI. The bank of 306 comments was written for this site and costs nothing to use; the helper only rewords the comments you chose, so it never needs to know anything about the student.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free, with no account. Each browser gets 10 AI drafts a day across all twelve helpers, so the cost stays small enough for Peabody to pay. Anything that doesn’t need AI (the comment bank, the read-aloud library’s questions, the makers) is free without counting.
What happens to what I type?
First, this computer takes out names, email addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers, street addresses, links and school names, and shows you what it took out. Text that looks like a student record (an IEP, a 504 plan, a report card, a behavior log) is refused and nothing is sent. What’s left goes to our server, which checks it the same way again, then to Claude Haiku, a model made by Anthropic, which writes the draft. Peabody doesn’t keep what you typed or the draft, and doesn’t log them. Anthropic’s own retention terms for Peabody’s account are not yet stated on this site.
What won’t the helpers write?
IEP goals, behavior plans, social stories, or anything else about a real, identifiable student. Those are decisions about a child that belong to the people who know them. Common Sense Media, reviewing AI teacher assistants, rated IEP and behavior-plan generators high risk and found bias in the behavior plans they suggested. The helpers make materials for lessons instead.
Can I trust the draft?
Treat it as a first draft from a quick colleague who hasn’t met your class. Models can get a fact, a meaning or an answer wrong, so every draft says “AI draft: check before you use it”. Read it through before it reaches students.
Names, email addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers, addresses and school names are taken out on this computer before anything is sent. What’s left goes to our server and on to Anthropic’s Claude, which writes the draft; Peabody keeps neither what you typed nor the draft.
