“I built Boomerang Classroom because the tools we put in classrooms should reflect the best of teaching — trust, judgment, and care.”
Our visual language
The Return Arc.
Our return arc represents momentum, growth, and the continuous cycle of learning — the idea that everything in school comes back to what matters most: the student.
Our principles
What we will and will not build.
These are the convictions that decide what makes it into a Boomerang product — and just as importantly, what doesn’t.
-
Teacher judgment is the product.
Software supports it. Software does not replace it. Every screen, signal, and shortcut exists to give the teacher more room to teach — not less.
-
Student work belongs to the student.
It is not training data for us or anyone else. Drafts, reflections, and growth stay with the student and the school — never sold, never mined, never repurposed.
-
Structure should protect freedom.
Not erase it. The workflow belongs to the student first. We design routines that hold the line where it matters and step back everywhere else.
-
Conversation before consequence.
Signals are information for a teacher, not automatic flags. Nothing in a Boomerang product writes a referral, fires off a punishment, or pre-judges a student.
-
Privacy by design.
Minimal data. FERPA-aware. No third-party trackers in student flows. We collect the least we can to do the job, and we tell you exactly what that is.
-
Non-generative AI only.
No student-facing essay generation. Ever. AI may help a teacher with their own workflow, but it will never write a student’s thinking for them.
