What Pathloom is for
Pathloom is a planning and organization tool for parents. It is meant to help with child-specific planning, documentation workflows, and homeschool navigation.
Privacy & boundaries
Designed to keep parents in control.
Pathloom is being designed as a parent-operated, local-first system. The goal is to help families plan, organize, and navigate homeschooling without requiring sensitive student records to live on Pathloom’s systems.
Parent-operated, not child-operated
Pathloom is intended to be used by parents or guardians. The parent remains responsible for what information is entered, what outputs are accepted, and what records are kept.
Local-first by design
Wherever possible, the model is to let families keep their own plans, notes, records, and educational materials in their own environment rather than requiring Pathloom to host them.
What we do not want to host
- Grades and report cards
- Attendance logs
- Transcripts
- Portfolios and work samples
- Long-term child educational records
- Detailed child profiles stored as a hosted customer database
Important product boundaries
- Pathloom is not a school.
- Pathloom is not a legal advisor.
- Pathloom is not a replacement for parental judgment.
- Pathloom does not guarantee legal compliance.
State-aware, not legal advice
Pathloom may help parents stay organized around state-specific requirements, checklists, and records. Families remain responsible for reviewing their state’s homeschool laws and making final compliance decisions.
