<p>I'm also left-handed, and I hate binders and spiral notebooks for that reason. I use all loose-leaf paper because it's so much easier. I do always write on the backs of papers, but there is less space on the back.</p>
<p>It's just ridiculous that teachers would require their students to use certain materials. My science teachers also took notebook organization as a grade. I think that I can get along just fine without using a $50 organization system. I file all my own banking, and I know exactly where everything is. No color coded tabs or title pages are necessary.</p>
