M8: Design a Product for Homework Help

How Meta could turn homework from anxious completion theater into genuine learning. PLUS, I’m opening my waitlist for a rare 1:1 coaching opportunity.

Every night, millions of students finish their homework feeling confident—then bomb the test days later, wondering what went wrong. Current tools reward completion over comprehension; Meta could reveal what students actually understand in real time. This breakdown identifies the most underserved student segment, prioritizes their core pain points, and shows why combining biometric data with peer teaching creates an advantage no other education company can match.
