Well, I didn't expect anyone to respond in a day, and I still don't expect any good suggestions. As it has been proven time and again, tags are NOT a legitimate replacement for a hierarchal system, no matter how much some people want to believe and say it's true.

Citation, please?

As it has been proven time and again, tags are NOT a legitimate replacement for a hierarchal system, no matter how much some people want to believe and say it's true.

They're not going to stop saying it, though, it's now just habit.

I am going to cite that fact that I asked for someone to explain how tags can replace my hierarchal system and so far there have been no suggestions. The only attempt being my own quasi-solution.

Since you say you're a high school teacher, I would expect that you see how flawed your "citation" is. Expecting a response in a day and a half (especially on a weekend) is unrealistic & certainly not proof of anything. (Other than you received no replies in a day & a half.)

I would also add that there are many detailed examples that have been posted in other threads on how to organize using tags. If you're interested, you are free to look them up. It's apparent you've not read these threads because your tag system listed below is not possible:

Right now, here is a simplified look at my note structure.

Teaching

>2010-2011

>>Period 1

>>>Student 1

>>>Student 2

>>>Etc

>>Period 2

>>Period 3

>>Period 5

>>Period 6

>2009-2010

>>Period 1

>>>Student 1

>>>Student 2

>>>Etc

>>Period 2

>>Period 3

>>Period 5

>>Period 6

...because you cannot have two tags of exactly the same name. For starters, I would suggest you have a notebook for "Teaching 2010-2011" and then a tag for each period & each student's name. You can then search by selecting the notebook along with the appropriate tags for period/student name. And yes, you'd get the same results as if they were in sub-notebooks. This has been proven in other threads, should you care enough to look them up.

Also, coming into a forum with a sour attitude tends to make people (especially those who volunteer their time to help) less inclined to be helpful:

Well, I didn't expect anyone to respond in a day, and I still don't expect any good suggestions. .

Sorry nobody around here bothered to help you.

I just didn't realize the Evernote developers were willing to just ignore so many requests when it's so easy to implement. And yes, based on the structure they have now, it's easily possible for the Android client (desktop has it).

So with that said, bye Evernote.

(Emphasis mine on the last quote.) So in one post, you're stating you're leaving EN. Then in another, you gripe b/c no one has offered you any help in a day & a half over the weekend.

The reason that I asked for a citation is that you claimed that it's been "proven time and again, tags are NOT a legitimate replacement for a hierarchal system" without offering any actual proof or outside reference besides your own words, and I was curious to if there was such, since just saying something doesn't exactly constitute proof. I guess the answer's "no", but no matter, since it's just your opinion, we can just disagree and move on.

As far as offering help, yes, I could make suggestions, probably similar to BurgersNFries did subsequently. The fact of the matter is that it takes time to come to terms with someone else's complicated body of notes and organizational expectations, and there's probably more than one right answer. My usual recommendation is to not attempt to categorize everything all at once, since you seem a little unsteady with the tagging concept, but take your time and work on something smaller until you get the feel for things. It's often a personal thing -- my tagging system is different from BurgerNFries' is different from jbenson's and so on.

But ultimately, if you can't come to grips with tagging in Evernote, you'll probably end up fighting it all the time, which will just be endlessly frustrating for you.
