Marc, 45 — Teacher

Who he is​

Marc teaches math to three classes of CM1-CM2 (4th-5th graders), 28 students each. He loves teaching but drowns in administrative tasks — attendance, grades, parent communication, assignment tracking. He spends almost as much time on admin as on actual teaching. He uses a school email, a grade book app, and a paper notebook to track everything.

His day before Morphee​

  • Morning: Arrives 30 minutes early to photocopy worksheets. Realizes he left the USB drive at home with the corrected tests.
  • During class: Three parents emailed overnight about the field trip. He won't have time to reply until lunch.
  • Lunch: Tries to update grades from last week's test while eating. Gets interrupted by a colleague.
  • After school: Spends 45 minutes writing individual comments on report cards. Does 6 out of 28.
  • Evening: At home, still thinking about how to explain fractions differently for the 5 students who didn't get it.

His day with Morphee​

[Morning, 7:45 — before class]
Marc: "What's on my plate today?"
Morphee: "Good morning Marc. Today:
  📋 3 parent emails about the field trip (I've drafted replies)
  📊 CM2-B still missing 4 test grades from last Friday
  📝 Report card comments: 22 remaining (deadline: Friday)

  Quick wins: approve the 3 email drafts (2 min) and
  I can generate first-draft report comments from your grade data."

Marc: "Show me the email drafts"
Morphee: [Shows 3 email cards]
  "All confirm the field trip details. Standard replies.
  Want to send all three?"
Marc: "Yes, send them"

[Lunch break, 12:15]
Marc: "Generate report comments for CM2-B"
Morphee: "Here are draft comments for the 22 remaining students.
  I based them on:
  - Their grade evolution this trimester
  - Your previous comments style
  - Areas where they improved or struggled

  I flagged 4 students who need personalized attention:
  - Léa: sharp drop in geometry (85→62)
  - Ahmed: huge improvement in problem-solving (+20 pts)
  - Chloé: consistently strong, might be bored
  - Nathan: attendance issues (missed 5 classes)

  Want to review them now or after school?"

[After school, 16:30]
Marc: "5 students didn't understand fractions today.
  I need a different approach for tomorrow"
Morphee: "Common fraction misconceptions at CM2 level:
  1. Students see fractions as two separate numbers
  2. They don't connect fractions to division

  Alternative approaches:
  - Pizza/chocolate bar physical manipulation (visual)
  - Fraction wall chart (comparison)
  - Fraction strips they cut themselves (kinesthetic)

  Want me to create a worksheet using the chocolate bar approach?
  I can make it printable for tomorrow."
Marc: "Yes, and make it fun"

Key features used​

  • Spaces: My Class CM2-B, My Class CM1-A, My Class CM1-B, Admin
  • Integrations: Gmail (parent communication), Calendar (school schedule), eventually school grade book API
  • Memory: Student performance data, parent communication history, teaching approaches tried
  • Skills: Email draft generation, report card comment generation, worksheet creation, student progress tracking

Why it works for him​

Marc didn't become a teacher to write emails and fill spreadsheets. Morphee takes the admin weight off his shoulders so he can focus on teaching. The AI drafts emails, generates report comments from grade data, creates differentiated worksheets, and tracks which students need attention.

The critical feature: Morphee learns his style. After reviewing and editing a few report comments, it writes them in his voice. After seeing which teaching approaches worked, it suggests better ones.

Privacy note: Student data stays in Marc's self-hosted instance. No student information goes to cloud AI providers — local models handle sensitive data, cloud models only see anonymized prompts.
