A teacher cannot efficiently organize and navigate their Google Classroom materials because they dump everything in without a structure, leading to a messy, hard-to-navigate course page.

Google Classroom lacks flexible organizational structures like drag-and-drop topics, collapsible sections, or smart filtering by week/unit/topic/type, and doesn't allow easy archiving while keeping materials accessible.
