When AI can handle the content, teachers get to focus on motivation, values and emotions.

I started my career as a teacher and spent > 8 hrs a day lesson planning, delivering content & grading. If I could have handed that off to a great program like Bloomy, I could have built far better relationships & my students would have been so much better off.

There is already every form of content, hundreds of times over, for almost every K12 topic.

The problem hasn't been content for nearly a decade.

There are many problems to solve within education! To say there’s only 1 aspect would be a massive disservice to the ~2 decades the average person spends going through a school system. Some studies estimate the average American is at a middle school reading level. That’s one problem (of many) we can aim to solve with something like Bloomy.
