Over the years kids have been learning from their teachers in schools, but the tool being used is in constant flux. Now, this infographic shows what tool has been used to both teach and learn, and how those have changed through time. In the old days’ pre-printed wooden paddles would be used to teach the alphabet and reading, now teachers have turned to iPads which can be changed every second to accommodate learning speeds. The overhead projector was a popular group teaching instrument in the early 1900’s, this has given way to the whiteboard. There is also change in what is required from the student where the #2 pencils were once used with scantrons, no computers take their place and no writing instrument is needed to take a standardized test. This infographic shows all the ways these instruments have changed the way teachers teach and students learn.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
