Marking is valuable because it strengthens teachers' professional judgement and helps them to understand standards and interpret student work. For many it is how they 'know' their students. Marking is how the profession learns, maintains standards, and ensures fairness. www.rnz.co.nz/news/educati...

Do you mean Momentum? Yes on the local-first part: self-hosted, plain files on your own disk, no cloud. But it's less a framework and more a working single-user assistant — tasks, email, scheduling, chat wired around one person's actual workflow. Think digital chief of staff, not an agent library.
