It might not be the Miracle Solution for Homework but Gradefix offers a practical one to students.
The service was designed by college students from Utah who had decent grades but wanted to get better ones. 
Their thinking was to find a way to sort out what to do first, to prioritize.
They launched mid 2006.
The service offers 2 options: a Free one with a ceiling of 10 Tasks selected or $5 a month with unlimited tasks.
You need to first set a profile.
They ask you to provide the name of the school as part of the registration.
You send select classes and move on to the Task Manager where you pick the class and the tasks related to it (homework, reading, quiz study, exam study) that you want to schedule. You then choose a due date, give it a description and estimate the time it will take to complete.
You repeat the process for each assignment at hand and voila ‘Gradefix‘ sets up your schedule.
It will not do your homework for you though!
I will test it with my high schooler and will give a progress report in a few weeks.
As far as I can tell, the service is well designed, straightforward and you do not need to be a geek to use it.
So give Gradefix a chance!
Thanks to Webware for bringing it to my attention.
