Don't let the classroom raise your child. Guardian helps K-12 parents know what school materials actually say, spot language that crosses their family's selected lines, and respond with the exact source in hand. Start with your child's grade and local school context, choose what your family wants watched, and decide how strongly Guardian should alert you. With an active membership, you can: - Review worksheets, textbook pages, syllabi, reading assignments, and available public curriculum sources. - See the exact passage that triggered an alert, why it matched, the available source context, and the strength of the evidence. - Keep findings organized as cases instead of losing screenshots and notes. - Prepare a child conversation, teacher or principal message, school-board statement, public-records request, or evidence packet. - Record school responses, decisions, and follow-up reminders. Guardian does not ask you to take someone else's summary on faith. It keeps the available words, source, and context visible so you can decide what they mean and what to do next. Guardian is free to download. A paid auto-renewable subscription purchased in the app is required to unlock full reports, alerts, saved family context, action tools, and ongoing review features. Public-source coverage varies and is not represented as a complete school or district record. Guardian is an informational parent tool, not legal or professional educational advice.
