What this is

Comment Desk is a drafting aid for report card comments. It assembles pre-written sentences according to the levels you pick. Every comment it produces is a draft: you are responsible for checking that each comment is accurate for the student, consistent with the mark or level you assign, and in line with your school board's requirements before it is used.

The comment banks

The sentences in every pack are original writing that describes classroom behaviour in plain language. No text from any curriculum, policy or assessment document is reproduced; skill and strand names are the short names teachers use and are used only to say what a sentence is about. Comment Desk is not affiliated with any school board or ministry.

You may use the comments the site drafts on your own report cards, edited or not. You may not republish the banks themselves as a collection.

Payments

No paid plan is offered at present; if one is added, this page will describe it.

Your data

Your classes are stored by your own browser on your own device. They can be cleared by you at any time, cannot be recovered by us, and do not follow you to another device unless you use the backup file.

Acceptable use

Use the site for writing your own report card comments. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people, and do not present the banks as your own published work.

Warranty and liability

The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Comment Desk is not liable for any loss arising from the use of the site or from reliance on a drafted comment.
