Elementary teacher lacks curriculum resources and textbooks, forcing her to spend excessive personal time sourcing materials and developing lessons from scratch, leading to burnout and considering leaving the profession.

Existing online resources are fragmented, unreliable, and require sifting through endless material; no centralized, age-appropriate, curriculum-aligned content exists to replace textbooks.
