 For every young student who has gotten in trouble for forgetting to complete a homework assignment, David Schwartz has a solution.In 1996, in response to his 8-year-old son's request for help in organizing school papers, Schwartz invented a binder system with color-coded folders matched to different school subjects and tabbed pockets that separate homework from reference sheets and tests or quizzes. The system had an immediate impact on his son's grades, which jumped from C's to A's and attracted the attention of the school principal, who commissioned binders for the entire class at the Fay School in Southborough. The David (short for "data accessed and viewed in individual documents") Organizing Assistant is now taking off in public schools in Cambridge. Last fall, Fletcher-Maynard Academy implemented the binder system for fifth through eighth grades, and Cambridgeport School provided binders for students in grades 3 and 4.

Schwarz, chief executive officer of Framingham-based Productive Education LLC, is working out contracts to provide the binders for the schools. Read the rest of the story from The Boston Globe...
