Below that, parents are involved and there's a market there (but a bad one, because of double sales where you have to sell through the parent to the child even though those two actors have misaligned incentives). https://www.gauthmath.com/ https://www.gauthmath.com/ This AI cheating app is currently #8 for "education" in the iOS app store.
