My children use these for school and these binders really last. I make the children use them until they are no longer functional and this means for more than one semester! The only downside is that the plastic sleeve to the front of the binders tears easily but the durability of the actual binder makes up for that.
This is very durable binder. My daughter bought two different knids for school. The cheap one broke and this one is going strong. So we came bacck and bought a couple more of these. Really seem to stand up to kids being rough with them.
I am slowly buying these notebooks as I can afford them to replace some flimsy soft sided notebooks that don't hold or withstand as much. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality & ease of use! The choice of colors are great!
