Just wondering, how many 100-sheet packs of paper do you use in a school year?

I've used 5-6 packs in the past 4 months. I'm such a tree-killer. :lol:

Being out of school now, I never use paper hardly. In school though, I didnt waste too much. Most stuff I typed out, and what I took down for notes I scribbled and doodled as much on one page lol.

It's all the teacher's fault. :D If they didn't give so much work, I wouldn't have to use so much paper.

Yes, I plead guilty as charged. I am a tree killer. I use 12 packages containing 200 sheets in a nine month period. By the end of the year, everyone is writing on anything available, including their bodies in order to prevent from having to go buy yet more paper. Honestly...

The only way to prevent such a thing is to cancel school. I guess enviromentalists should start looking into that...I'm willing to quit if you guys are;)

:lol: Nope, you are not alone. It's easier, more convenient, and just plain cheaper. Also, if you use the write kind of pen it stays for quite some time. Might as well be conservative;)

Ugh, I've had quite a few teachers obsessed with essays. I don't mind writing essays if the students can pick their own topic. I hate when they give out one boring topic and all the students have to write on that one topic.

It's no telling how many packs of paper I've used over the years and I'm talking about computer paper and notebook paper.

Ugh, same here. I also hate it when the teacher tells us the min and max pages we can write, what words to use, what format, etc. I mean... if they're gonna tell us to write essays, might as well let us write it how we want to.

Which reminds me, this year, I have this french teacher that tells us to write 10 setences in each paragraph, and at least 12 words in each sentence. So, for example, if I wanted to say, "I like snow" I would have to say, "I really, really, really, like snow, espcially when they have just fallen." Details.. who needs them. ;)

I agree. In Senior Lit, I had to write this paper over the Bubonic Plague (nice topic, eh) and I had this really long paper. I think I had like 700 to 800 words in the essay and the teacher told me to cut it down to 500 words. Do you know how hard it is to cut out that many words? When I write I don't care about anything else as long as I get it done. I didn't write a paragraph and count all the words. I just wrote the paper and didn't think anything about a word count. I still didn't get down to that 500 word total. I think I still had about 550 to 600 words in that essay. I think I made an A on that paper.

It's easier to extend an essay than to cut one down.
