I'm a student and I use this notebook for a class. I don't mind it it's not terrible but with a simple binding trick it would've been five times nicer to use and the pages wouldn't fall out for absolutely no reason. It's kind of necessary not to use the first three or four pages which is wasteful as a buffer because the three in the front of mine have already fallen out so I've had to tape them back in there. I'm very organized and I like my notes to be also so it's a bit frustrating having to tape notes back together when they fall out of a notebook since a notebook by definition is something that's technically supposed to hold a group of pages together.
I purchased this product for my homeschooler. It's a sturdy notebook with a 2-sided pocket in the front for loose pages. It's a good product...I bought one for each subject.
