# Homework Hotline

> Homework Hotline is an automated IVR (Interactive Voice Response) phone system that allows parents, guardians, and students to call 24/7 and hear homework assignments organized by grade and subject.

## What is Homework Hotline?

Homework Hotline is communication infrastructure designed for K-12 schools that provides:

- **Dedicated Phone Number**: Each school gets a unique phone number for their homework hotline
- **Teacher Submission Portal**: Teachers submit homework assignments through a simple web interface
- **Admin Approval Workflow**: School administrators review and approve submissions for quality control
- **IVR Phone System**: Parents and students call and navigate by grade and subject to hear assignments
- **24/7 Availability**: The system is always available, no matter the time of day
- **13-Language Support**: Full support for English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Haitian Creole, Russian, and Somali
- **Premium Audio**: Studio-quality ElevenLabs voices for English, AWS Polly for all 13 languages
- **No App Required**: Works on any phone — no smartphone, app download, or internet needed

## Primary Use Cases

1. **Parents without reliable internet access**: Families who don't have consistent internet can still access homework information via phone
2. **Students who forgot to write down homework**: Direct access to assignments without needing to contact classmates
3. **Schools serving diverse communities**: 13-language support ensures all families can access information
4. **After-hours homework access**: 24/7 availability means parents working late shifts can still access assignments
5. **Title I schools**: Special pricing (50% discount) available for Title I eligible schools
6. **District-wide standardization**: Schools can verify assignment availability and access coverage

## How It Works

1. Teachers log into the web portal and submit homework assignments by grade and subject
2. School administrators review and approve submissions
3. Approved assignments are converted to premium audio using ElevenLabs (English) and AWS Polly (13 languages)
4. Parents/students call the school's dedicated hotline number
5. Callers select their language
6. Callers navigate by pressing numbers for their grade and subject
