Homol High Phase 1 — git-backed home study with Professor Cursor
· 2 min read
Consulting delivery patterns work surprisingly well for home school. This week I stood up Homol High School as a single git repo for Grace’s sophomore year: courses, daily lesson sheets, attendance, Georgia compliance notes, and a Cursor rule that acts as curriculum coach while my wife and I run short kickoff, check-in, and wrap. The remote stays private — shared between us for collaboration, not a public Homol Works link.
What happened
- Initialized Homol High Phase 1 with Geometry, World History, AP ELA, Chemistry, and a light PE/Arts elective log for the 2026–27 year
- Wrote Week 1 daily lesson sheets (
lessons/YYYY-MM-DD.md) with outcomes, Must-do vs Stretch, worked examples, Done looks like, Stuck Protocol, and phone-away defaults - Added co-teacher ops: daily rhythm, attendance log, week template, learner profile, and learning log — parents nearby, not all-day sit-beside tutors
- Codified a Professor Cursor teaching rule so lesson text stays literal, checklistable, and independent-work friendly
- Captured Georgia home-study guardrails (Declaration of Intent, 180 × ~4.5 hours, required cores) under
docs/next to the ops playbook - Started tracking the kinds of supports that fit Grace’s unique learning style — without publishing the trait list itself
- Today was our first pilot school day; we got a ton of feedback and already worked through much of it. A follow-up post next week will show how the lessons and agenda have matured by the end of Week 1
