Teachers have already graded thousands of worksheets and saved hundreds of hours using Frizzle! \n\n**Frizzle is an official [White House](https://www.whitehouse.gov/edai/) partner for bringing AI into education!**\n\n**Ask**: Can you introduce us to any math teachers, schools, or districts that would benefit from Frizzle? Contact us at [abhay@frizzle.com](mailto:abhay@frizzle.com)\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zx_mCw8soI\n\n**❌ The Problem**\n\nTeaching is one of the most important jobs in society, yet teachers are among the most overworked professionals. Many work 50–70 hours a week, often grading late into the night and on weekends.\n\nAcross the U.S., there’s a national teacher shortage where 1 in 8 teaching roles remain unfilled. Superintendents and principals consistently mention that teacher time is now their most valuable resource. But teachers lose 10+ hours every week just grading math assignments, time that could be spent supporting students. 25% of all their work is spent grading!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=93211\u0026key=user_uploads/332377/7654e581-e8c4-4cf2-b330-6f78bddfd521)\n\nExisting grading tools handle essays or multiple-choice questions, but fail with math, especially handwritten step-by-step work. Classrooms are also moving back to pen and paper, but teachers are left with more paperwork than ever and no scalable way to manage it.\n\nThis has created a massive bottleneck in the classroom, adding to burnout and pushing talented teachers out of the profession.\n\nUntil now…\n\n**✅ Our Solution**\n\nAt Frizzle, we’re a team of former math nerds and AI experts building the first system that actually handles math grading at scale.\n\nTeachers simply upload or snap a photo of student work and instantly get back:\n\n* **Accurate grading** ✏️: Every step graded in seconds, whether it’s handwritten or typed.\n* **Actionable insights** 📊: A class dashboard highlighting where each student is struggling across assignments.\n* **Student-friendly feedback** 🧑‍🏫: Clear explanations that help students learn from their mistakes, not just see a score.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfy5uI9ZGxksf8CXCUL5xLmMc9MdRY5IM3WmuBqz9HFynZMzwCudL_y5ydsK41z55RDJksFqnHEEw3aU48mgTUx4bm_VXnAZlSS7pbenqW9JOQIef6oQIZ4IWpTAdQ_LcW_Nh8oJg?key=q7LswlE0gngKWIM4LuJkjQ)\n\nFrizzle eliminates the 10–15 hours a week teachers lose to grading, giving them time back to focus on what matters most - teaching.\n\n**🙏 Our Ask**\n\nIf you answer “yes” to any of these, we’d love your help:\n\n* Do you know any math teachers that would benefit from an extra 10 hours in their week?\n* Do you know any schools or districts that would benefit from saving their teachers 10+ hours a week?\n* Have you scaled B2B SaaS into K–12 districts or worked closely with educators?\n\n👉 Contact us at [abhay@frizzle.com](mailto:abhay@frizzle.com)\n\nYour help can make a huge difference in bringing Frizzle to more teachers.
