I use this product often as I am a private SAT Tutor. The binder gives me a very professional appearance especially when combined with separator tabs for many of the sections. Many families keep the binder as a token the effort that went into completing the assignments. Others simply remove the material after completing the assignments and re-cycle the binder. Often I get to see these binders after several years of backpack abuse and with the use of a damp cloth they look almost new. For me this product is a winner.
Binders bought for A US Navy Course I'll be Teaching in Hampton VA. The Binders have 22 Sections of Material and Handles all the paper work in a neat orderly fashion with room for expansion.
These binders are some of the best binders at Staples because the outside doesn't fall apart but the inside is horrible. The rings broke after a week and now won't close correctly!
My children and myself only have these binders. The other binders wouldn't ever last a school year and these binders have last 2 years so far. I think it is wonderful that if it breaks you replace it. It may cost more in the beginning when you buy it but it lasting for life is well worth it.
