About How Many Trees are Cut Down for a Child's Education?

Question

Well, this has been annoying, since many teachers are saying 'many trees are being killed (Cut down) for your education', so I wanna know, how many?

Please leave a source, too, thanks.

Answer 1

I have no clue but it would depend on the teacher.  As a first grade teacher I don't rely a lot on worksheets, but we do write a lot...at least a page a day (1st grade spacing).  I know some teachers that use 4 or 5 pages for each subject a day....

Try that link.

Remember that in most schools kids get busy work of about 5-10 pages per day.

Also include music/art/etc into the calculations . . .

if u go to school for 16 years + 3 years of preschool, you probably used an average of 1000 pieces of paper per year in 7-senior in college. k-6 uses about 500 sheets of paper a year and 3 years of preschool probably uses like 50 from coloring books per year. taht would b 13650 pieces of paper and i have no idea how many pieces of paper r made per tree...
