High school is where most students first meet AI answer-machines — and where habits either root or rot. Brainback replaces the copy-paste reflex with a real workflow: attempt, reflect, hint, attempt again, recall. It's the same struggle great students have always had, minus the parts nobody misses.

What's broken. What changes.

A honest before-and-after — the specific gaps Brainback closes for a student in this stage of the arc.

what's broken

Homework auto-completes itself — and so does the learning.

Attempt-first workflow forces engagement.
Hint ladder keeps the ceiling on but the floor high — every student can move.
Parent dashboard shows effort without exposing content.
