As a teacher, keeping things simple is key to efficiently using my valuable time. This is a wonderful tool for managing our homework, morning check in, and does so with a quick visual check. In fact, it's invaluable!This station arrives with plastic coated, easy to use labels that fit neatly into the clear pouch. Pockets are deep enough for full sheets without being so deep that 1/2 sheets get lost. Five "hangy holes" (yes, it's a technical term) allow for full support which is critical when 27 students are turning in an entire unit of work!Buy it, use it, and you will be happy. I've added clothes pins to mine. One side is red (hot lunch), the other blue (cold), and in an instant attendance and hot lunch count is done! Now, if only I could purchase an additional column for my class as it GROWS.This product is key to an organized classroom - sort student papers, separate unfinished student work, organize papers for various school committees.The pockets on this organizer hold regular sized paper (8.5 x 11) okay. If you want to use folders, you'll have to cut them down quite a bit. The picture shows what appear to be folders in the pockets, so you'd think regular pocket folders would fit, but they don't. The description says the pockets are 9" wide x 8.5" tall. They got the height right, but the width of 9" is including the stitching/seams, so they will not accomodate papers/folders over 8.5" wide. Also, several of the seams on the pockets began to come apart at the top after about a month. This is a useful organizer, but the pockets need to be wider.I teach elementary school and use this pocket chart as a visual reminder for makeup work and/or missed tests. I team teach with another teacher, so I actually have two of these - one for my class and one for the other. Each student is assigned his/her own pocket, and when they see papers in their pocket they ask about them. This tool keeps papers off of the black hole that is my desk.I love this thing. I'm thinking I might get another one. There are 30 pockets that hold quite a few papers in them. I have other miscellaneous things in the pockets as well such as sticky notes, passes, etc. I love the dry erase labels that you can change. This organizer has made my life so much easier. I'm thinking about getting another one for work and one for home as well. I definitely recommend this product. I rarely write reviews but i felt like this product was worth the time it takes to write one.Seems very durable. Pockets were smaller than I imagined so be sure to check the description in depth. I was hoping folders would fit but they don't. It's a great size for my classroom! I used strong Velcro to put it on the wall.Just received this. The middle row section was sewn a little tight to hold papers without bending a tad. I had read the reviews prior to purchasing and decided to try this product anyway. Foots perfectly on my door in classroom. Still really liked the product for the price.Fits on a door perfectly. Easy to see who doesn't turn in their papers. Did not receive the five stars because the middle columns are smaller than the rest. Papers do not fit well.Great item for my classroom. The pockets are a perfect size for books A5 and smaller. You would have to fold papers in half if you wanted to use it like a letter box. I am using mine to origins and store my pupil's reading journals as they need easy access to them throughout the day.Very useful, but labels not visible if A4 sized things put in pocketsGreat product and has helped my wife at school organise the resources for students.Large enough for the cards she makes and have many pockets.perfect in my classroom - been using it all this academic year. sturdy.We use it to leave messages or homework for pupils, but also as a mailbox for everybody in the classroom, to exchange messages or requests. That's why we added the names of the teachers.
