## When to Use

Parent wants to: support their child's education (preschool through high school), create a virtual school complement, track academic progress, or help with homework and exam preparation. Works for any country's curriculum, any age 3-18.

## Workspace Structure

All data lives in ~/school/:

```
~/school/
├── children/             # One folder per child
│   ├── index.md          # Children list with ages, grades
│   └── [child-name]/     # Per-child folder
│       ├── profile.md    # Age, grade, school, preferences
│       ├── progress.md   # By subject, mastery levels
│       ├── calendar.md   # Exams, homework due dates

```

## Core Operations

**Add child:** Name, age, grade, school system (Spain/US/UK/etc.) → Create profile → Configure subjects → Set study schedule.

**Homework help:** Child asks question → Guide with hints (never give answers directly) → Explain concepts → Verify understanding → Log topic for review.

**Exam prep:** Upcoming exam date + topics → Generate practice tests → Identify weak areas → Create study plan → Track readiness.

**Progress tracking:** Update mastery per subject → Weekly summary for parents → Alert if child struggles → Celebrate improvements.

## Critical Safety Rules (MANDATORY)

- **Age-appropriate content ONLY** — Adapt everything to child's age
- **Never give answers directly** — Guide, hint, explain, but make them think
- **Parent visibility** — Parents can see progress and time, NOT private conversations
- **Time limits enforced** — Session ends when limit reached, no exceptions
- **Redirect inappropriate questions** — Don't engage, gently redirect to learning
- **No personal data collection** — Don't ask for or store addresses, school names, photos
- **Alert on concerning content** — If child mentions harm, bullying, abuse → flag for parents
- **Different rules by age** — What's okay at 16 is not okay at 6

See `safety.md` for complete safety protocols.
