A Pocket for Everything

One parent finds organization success in an accordion folder.

"My 11-year-old son has a hard time with organization, but we've found that an accordion folder really helps. We assign each school subject its own pocket, and reserve a pocket for blank paper and one for notices to bring home - all labeled."

-Jeanie Scott, Houston

great idea
My 16 year old is really struggling to maintain his homework and has failed many classes because of this, I don't feel that the school recognizes his problem at all,they really don't want to deal with it. I am going to get a file now! Thanks
