It's not you. It's the system.
You have three tabs open. Your email is full of teacher newsletters you haven't read. The school portal logged you out again. Your partner just texted asking if there's a permission slip due.
You're an organized person. You shouldn't feel this lost.
But every teacher uses a different platform. Every school sends updates in a different format. Every kid brings home information in a different way — or doesn't bring it home at all.
The "Fine" Trap.
You ask how homework's going. They say "fine."
At 9pm, they're crying. They've been stuck for hours. Now it's too late for patience, too late for help, too late for anything but damage control.
You're not asking for surveillance. You just want to know before it's a crisis.
One place. Everything that matters.
Buoy collects the chaos — teacher emails, portal screenshots, whatever you throw at it — and turns it into a clear picture of what's happening for each kid.
Open the app. See what's due. Know where to focus. That's it.
