I bought a bunch of these for my kids to use at school. I normally buy the walmart brand but this paper was a lot better. The kids could tear the paper out and it didnt rip besides where it was suppose to. Love it
The notebooks are affordable and easy to use but the cover brakes very easily. This happens specially with younger children. I was thinking ways to generate a solution to this problem but there is not much the manufacturers can do. Since a thin metal wire bind the front cover the pages and the back cover of the notebook the cover of the notebook is going to continue to rip. However may be you might want to use something else to bind the notebooks. For example a plastic thread or regular thread. This may decrease or minimize the number of young children who break their notebook covers within the first couple of weeks of schools.
Works just as well as a brand name. Papers tear easily. The cover is sturdy. Its great for taking notes. Substitutes well for loose leaf. The kids enjoy using them even at home. Schools recommend hardcover composition notebooks as part of their supplies. However we use it at home for drafts and playing school. Its great for PTA moms who need to keep track of activities/functions. Its great for moms to keep themselves organized. You even see teachers using them at school for their own organizational purposes.
Comes in great variety of colors and is great way to help separate several different projects that you might have going on at one time or to help a student separate different school subjects.
