so launches an other one into orbit Students of different ages and grades were asked for their opinions on the use of any type of notebook and their reasons for their likes and dislikes IN FAVOR Helen Graft of Grade 19 who uses zipper binder says she prefers it because it holds more notes paper rulers pencils and the like Helen says her binder is stronger and less li able to break because the rings beingbigger are stronger She also thinksmbinders are more expensive on any er type and finds that their main dis advantages are that they are too big and bulky and notes cant be written on them which aim ly means that they must be pibced on the floor af ter paper is taken out to write on and are frequently tricked around the room Another Gmde 10 student Grant Homer prefers the loose leaf notebooks

one ring breaks off completely making the book useless The only advantage of the zipper binders Bill says is that rulers and pens can be carried in them providing the zipper isnt broken Bill doesnt like clipboards because filing sys tern must he kept at home but they are compact To conclude Bill said that he found the green canvas card board notebooks tn be by far the best They are relatively
