Emotionally loaded follow-up

Too sharp or escalation-proneOliver pushed another student today and refused to apologise. This behaviour is unacceptable and cannot continue.
After
Calm, clear, and professionalI wanted to let you know about an incident during today's lesson where Oliver became frustrated and pushed another pupil. We spoke with him about making positive choices and he understands that physical behaviour is not appropriate.

Behaviour concern, parent email
I've noticed Tom is finding it harder to stay engaged in class lately. I'm giving him short check-ins and clear cues to help him stay with the task. A quick note from home about focusing would really support him this week.

Why Zaza Draft is built differently from generic AI
Defensible wording matters more than fluent wording. Draft is built for paper-trail communication and written as if it could be forwarded, screenshot, or read out of context.
No student names required. Draft is not trained on your inputs and focuses on phrasing and tone only.
| Feature | Generic AI Tools (ChatGPT, etc.) | Zaza Draft |
|---|---|---|
| Training | General knowledge, business-focused | Built with teacher design partners around real school communication workflows |
| Safety | May invent student details or scenarios | Does not invent student-specific claims - rewrites only what you provide |
| Tone Control | Limited or inconsistent | Education-specific tone guidance for calm, appropriate wording |
| Compliance | Not FERPA-designed | FERPA-ready by design |
| Use Cases | Generic writing tasks | Parent emails, report comments, and documentation for school context |
| Output Quality | Requires heavy editing | Clearer, more defensible wording with less rewriting |
| Learning Curve | Complex prompting needed | Paste context, review tone, send when ready |
| Community | No teacher support | Shaped by teacher feedback from real school communication |
