I have to say I am really impressed with this organizer, and the quick response to questions. With service like this it is easy to get spoiled! 🙂 And just like a little spoiled child I find myself wanting more…. I am reminded that it is NOT anywhere as bad as last years calendar that was written, erased, copied, rewritten, etc. til I gave up! I am finishing this year with the CM Organizer, and am well pleased. I am already spoiled I think though, to its ease of use and intuitiveness. It is so intuitive that I found myself saying “surely I saw the way to do that on the video!”. I searched the forums though, and found it on others wish lists as well. So, just to throw in my two cents worth, I am adding that I too would love to see a feature that would allow you to see and/or print a week or even a month in advance. Not being a programmer, I would not wish the job on anyone! I can wait on this. 🙂
Another of my wishes would be to see a sub-divisions option added to the divisions category.
And lastly (this is more of a question) is there a way to add a note to an assignment that you are schedualing at the moment you are schedualing it? Or do you have to wait til the day of the assignment to put a note there?
I am excited for next year and think this is well worth $10/month!

The hard part about printing a week in advance is that we don’t know at what pace you use each resource. For example you might have a student do one chapter of a history book when it’s scheduled but two units of math. So it’s hard to know what to show for the following days without adding an extra burden of specifying some sort of pace for everything you schedule. That starts getting away from the simplicity. Does that make sense?
Still, we’d like to find a way to do it.
Maybe it’s good enough to assume one of everything and know that it will cover most people and situations most of the time. Or maybe we have to do some more complex programming to learn your patterns of use. 🙂
We would love to get some feedback on what everyone thinks about this.
Well, we select which days we want to do things right? Math MTWTHF, or Reading MTW. Can’t it take the days of the week selections and then print that way? Then if you don’t go in the organizer and check it as done, everytime you reprint it still prints what the organizer currently says. I don’t think you could successfully print a whole year unless you kept very strict to your schedule.
Sure, but what if you usually have a student do two chapters of Reading on MTW? We don’t have you specify anywhere that they do two. They just do it and check it off.
So if you print a week in advance it would show only one chapter for MTW when the student actually does two. The print would be three chapters behind reality at the moment you create it.
Or is it good enough to assume only one unit of everything, knowing that it’s not perfect but works the majority of the time? It would certainly be a lot easier and quicker for us to implement that way.
2 chapters of reading?! That doesn’t fit in with the CM short lessons! 🙂
I get the point. For me it would work, but I bet soon enough you’d be getting more wish lists! 🙂
How about this. I say reading, don’t choose to set it up by chapters but rather by lessons and write in my lesson: Read chapters 1 and 2 or “read 2 chapters”
Does that work?
I can see how going a week or month ahead could be a problem – for example – my daughter has 19 lessons in her piano book, but we never do a lesson a day – it’d be closer to doing a lesson every week, but even that would probably be a stretch.
Rather than showing a week of assignments ahead of time, perhaps there’s some way we could see what’s coming up for the next 10 lessons of a particular resource. For example – we have a science book that we like to do about a project a week from – I’d love to be able to schedule each project and then add notes to each one about what supplies we need and then print out the next 10 projects with notes showing, so I can be prepared. The same would be true for supplemental reading materials, sometimes with preschoolers I don’t want to enter ALL of our library books into the scheduler, I just want to be able to write the titles of four or five of them into the notes section for one lesson on elephants.
That said, I agree though about being able to add a note to an assignment when you’re assigning it as opposed to waiting until you’re at that day.
But I truly DO LOVE THIS ORGANIZER – will highly recommend to friends!
