Subject: Support for Ethan in 4th Grade, Section B Dear Ms. Chen, I hope this email finds you well. Ethan has been having a bit of trouble with the new fractions worksheets and I was wondering if you could provide any extra practice sheets or recommend some online videos to help him better understand the concept.

Multiple questions violate the 'end with one clear question' rule.
How each run works: we fill the prompt with a made-up sample, run it once in Llama 3.3 70B, and GPT-OSS 120B grades the answer against the prompt's own rules. Word limits are counted by code, and every quote flagged as made up is checked against the full answer. Your results can differ. How we test.
