Our household is on airport extreme and I am searching for a way to more effeciently track my son's homework. He keeps a planner but is notorious for filling in anything in just to show that he did it.
I would like to have some software or a way for him to fill it in on his MacBook and have it sync with my MacBook pro with dates that assignments are due etc.

I have a mobile me account and I have no problem getting him one if that is what it takes to sync.

Anyone have any idea how to help a desperate father?
Thanks

iCal
You can sync his iCal through your MobileMe account to show up in your iCal.
You're still going to have to rely on him to fill-in his assignments and due dates, of course.

A non computer solution might work as well. You could take to random room searches. Kids hate that - trust me. It would be a strong motivator to finish homework in a timely fashion rather than risk you finding his porn collection. Or even worse, his love letters.

Or even worse, his love letters to participants in his porn collection.

And not delete any of your calendar entries or contacts.

No. Not good.

Ok

How do I sync his Ical with my Mobile Me

He doesn't need a mobile me?
