The paper the students use for class is very low quality. It is more akin to newsprint then actual paper and is quite see-through and rips easily. (In fact, all the students use tape as white-out. Because the paper is so cheap the tape pulls off the top layer which gives them a reasonably clean space to re-write the word.) But there is one pad of paper that I think is brilliant.
It is a blank pad (with the school name on top) but instead of just being all blank, it has tiny lines pressed into it so you can write in a straight line. I have the hardest time writing in a straight line on blank paper so I really appreciate the lines. What’s even better is a new pad of paper costs about .30 cents so we have a bunch of them scattered throughout the house.
Maybe I’m just impressed easily, but this is by far one of the smartest things I’ve seen in awhile!
