On the same topic, what is up with kids not understanding that they can and should use the BACK of a piece of paper?? Every day, I have to struggle with the kids to make them use the back of the page! Yesterday, a girl turned in her homework with THREE extra sheets of notebook paper that she had done her work on. The back of the original homework sheet was completely blank, there were about 5 problems on the front of each sheet of paper, except for the third, which had 2. What a waste!!

While camping in the forest as a child I took it upon myself to conserve the only roll of paper we brought with us by also using the back of the paper.
IT IS NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE!
You can take my word or try it yourself.

ha! my kids are the same way. they crumple paper they made one tiny mistake on too. i always protest, hey, trees are my friends! save paper!
Oh my gosh- I was just complaining about this. My students are constantly wadding up completely blank sheets of paper. They seem to justify it by throwing them into the recycling bin.
