Question

Should I have some things that I don't need?

Community Answer

You could. It's fine to have things like loose change or maybe your keys. But, remember to never over clutter.

Question

How do I make pencil bags?

Community Answer

Get a piece of fabric and fold it in half; then sew the two sides together. You can glue on a zipper, but if you don't have one of those, add a flap with a button to hold it shut.

Question

What if I'm on a budget?

Community Answer

if you are on a tight budget, then check out your local dollar store. You can accessorize your pencils with little stick-on gems or other items if you're worried they'll look cheap.

Question

Does it matter if my pencil case is losing its color?

Community Answer

It doesn't matter as long as it is still functional, but if you think it's too faded, you could either buy a new one or use markers, stickers, etc. to redecorate it.

Question

If your ruler is full sized what pencil case would you recommend?

Ruby

Top Answerer

If your ruler doesn't fit inside pencil case, you can just keep it separate in your school bag. You could also get a foldable or flexible ruler so it does fir in your pencil case. You are unlikely to find a pencil case that fits a full sized ruler otherwise.

Question

Do you need a clear pencil case for secondary?

Ruby

Top Answerer

You should check your own school's rules. Most roles don't have this requirement, so if you want to know, check the rules. If you are still unsure, you can get a clea pencil case just in case, but you won't get in trouble for not knowing.

Question

How many highlighters do you need in your pencil case?

Ruby

Top Answerer

A maximum of four. Highlighters aren't an absolute necessity, but if you do need them, there aren't many cases where you'll need more than four.

Question

How many pencil cases should you have for school?

Ruby

Top Answerer

One is enough. It cam be tempting to overestimate how much stationary you need, but one pencil case should have more than enough space for all the necessities. Keep in mind that your school will likely provide products too.

Question

Is it necessary to carry all your books every day to school?

Ruby

Top Answerer

Probably not. You should only take the books you need for that specific day. If you have a locker, take advantage of it to store excess books that you don't need at home.
