I have been wanting a lesson planner for a long time, but didn't want to spend $50+ to buy one. Then I caught a sale and decided to buy one for $30. It seemed intriguing to choose a cover and have my initials on it. Online, the pages looked so beautiful and organized. However, I was so underwhelmed when I finally received it. The cover looks and feels like it was made from a home laminated machine. The pages, on the other hand, are as expected: beautiful, good quality, and organized nicely. The part that I don't like, and maybe it's a personal opinion, is that it's so thick and heavy with a very bulky coil binding. I guess I didn't realize that I wouldn't want/need a full school year calendar (30+ pages). So I tore those pages out to use separately on an as-needed basis. That made it lighter. I do appreciate some of the teacher pages included such as "communication log" and "absentee log" pages. Not sure if I'll spend the money again, sale or not, I will know by the end of the school year.
