Am teaching my grandson to make notepads at home. Had a lot of printouts from the days I had a full-time job and documents would be sent to me during the pandemic which was of no use later. Today am teaching him to make one-size note pads to use for making daily notes at home. Once he learns this I am planning to teach him to make notebooks. I remember when we were in school we would give all the blank pages to the binder and get new notebooks made out of them. Did you reuse your old notebooks in school? Picture is mine

We did not mind learning anything new that the teachers taught us. And our parents always encouraged us.

@Laurakemunto I always feel the education in the early days was much better than it is now.

Oh that is a good idea. Yes I reused a lot of them when I was a kid.

We should learn to reuse everything instead of just throwing them in the landfill.

What a good idea to pass down. I don’t remember ever doing that when I was a child in school.

I would give them to a shop to be properly bound. I saw some videos on youtube and learnt to make them myself.

Yes. I reuse my old notebooks. My mom buys the one with spirals, so we can easily reuse those blank pages. It saves us a lot of money

The spiral notebooks were very expenseive when we were kids and way out of our budget. Now spiral books ae cheaper.
