Many teachers at the high school depend on colored paper to create graphic organizers to use in their math classes even though all of the students have an Ipad. When the paper was purchased for the dept it was the best sale that I have seen in the last 5 years. Our dept has been so pleased with the colored paper that we receive from Staples that I look for it on sale to replenish the rapidly utilized and quickly depleting supply. Thanks for the quality and for the buy one get one free sale
I usually just purchase white paper for my everyday use but Staples had a rebate attached to the entire line of Staples colored paper so how could I resist when after the rebate all I would be paying was the sales tax. I have no problem using any Staples brand products because the price is great as well as the quality. There were many different colors to choose from with 500 pages being the standard quantity for one color but 400 pages if you purchased a "mixed" pack. I opted for 500 pages of blue as I did not need 80 of goldenrod in the mixed pack.
I teach high school and I use different versions of tests. In order to make it easy to see that students don't trade test versions I use color paper to make it easy to see which versions of the test are next to the other.
After your second email requesting that I rate this item I finally decided to respond (for what it's worth). Due to the fact that my purchase of this item was made simply because it was a "good deal" per your circular and your email notification this item is currently an inventoried item. The package has yet to be opened! Seems like a bit of a "fools errand" to be rating such a common product by the way. I cannot imagine that my review or any review will contribute to anyone else's paper-buying decision.
