This is ideal to use in a variety of ways. For me, as a mother and tutor I found it to be quite helpful on both fronts. Very nice to be able to write reminders or chore lists that can be easily erased. It was also very convenient for tutoring math and algebra.  It was fairly easy to apply to the way, though make sure there is absolutely nothing on the wall before applying it. As I had a small bump of some sort on one spot that couldn't be smoothed. It has been up for nearly a year and is still up no problem, still able to be cleaned and reused. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
