Pencil board

I want to introduce you about Shitajiki that are very common in Japan but I can't see these kind of things here. Shitajiki are pencil board or desk pad made of plastic pad. Typically, shitajiki are placed underneath the top sheet of a notebook to prevent marking on the sheets below and to provide a stiffer surface for writing. It's useful when you write on paper on the textured surface as well. Doesn't American care if writing are traced below the top sheet?

I have seen my friends use these... actually it bothers me when i am using a pencil to take notes, as sometimes the notes will trace on the following page. so, I think this is a good idea!
