Lab · Teacher's Pet · Education · macOS

A homeschool for one computer.

The ambition is a full K–12 education that runs on a Mac and never asks a parent to be the teacher. The map exists. The school is being built one course at a time.

Built so far

One course, end to end.

Algebra Foundations is the first complete course: four lessons, guided practice, independent checks, cumulative review, explicit unlocks, and save and resume on device.

100 objectives are complete; 864 have had substantive review across 36 courses. The registry calls itself a structurally validated draft map and claims no alignment with any jurisdiction, no credit, and no learning outcome. So does this page.

The two numbers

1,273 is the size of the promise. 100 is the size of the product.

Both numbers stay on this page until they match. The map is sealed and versioned so every objective has one identity, and the inventory counts against it instead of against a mood.

Why it's in the lab

Seal the map before building the school.

“A curriculum that grows while it's being taught can't be checked. The registry is versioned and sealed so every objective has one identity, and the inventory counts against it instead of against a mood.”

Status

Local development. Verified 2026-09-13.

A macOS build (0.2.0, build 5) runs the first course, Algebra Foundations, on Blake's machine. The K–12 map is complete; the school is not.

  • No TestFlight or App Store distribution of any kind; the macOS build runs only on Blake's machine.
  • No child has learned from it, and no learning outcome is claimed.
  • 1,173 of the 1,273 objectives are mapped but not complete.
  • The curriculum map counts 13 grades, 4 subjects, 52 courses, 318 units, 1,273 objectivescurriculum/sealed/v3.267.0/K12_CURRICULUM_REGISTRY.json in teachers-pet-personal-school-0.266, counted directly on 2026-09-13; matches curriculum/school/inventory.json
  • 100 objectives are complete; 864 have had substantive review across 36 coursescurriculum/school/inventory.json (COMPLETE 100 · PARTIAL 1173) and README status 'PARTIAL SCHOOL — EXPANSION IN PROGRESS', read 2026-09-13
  • Algebra Foundations runs as a macOS app and its golden path passed QAmacos/ALGEBRA_RELEASE_QA.md (build 4 golden-path checks all Pass) and macos/TeachersPet.xcodeproj MARKETING_VERSION 0.2.0 / CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION 5, read 2026-09-13
  • No TestFlight upload has been mademacos/ALGEBRA_RELEASE_QA.md: 'No TestFlight upload was performed'; Apple package validation only (macos/release-evidence/build-4/apple-validation.json)

Next. Grade 7 synchronisation evidence was recorded on 13 September 2026. The next milestone is a second complete course and a TestFlight upload.
