Big poll! Cork board vs Dry erase magnetic

HELP!

I'm trying to set up a school area for ALL the paperwork and to-do's in my new life as a room parent and kindergarten mama.

Cork board or Magnetic dry erase?

I like the look of cork but worry about push pins dropping on floor.

I like magnets, but hate dry erase marker smells or losing them.

help.

option 3

paint a piece of plywood with magnetic chalkboard paint... best of both worlds and you can customize the size.

That's funny because he just

That's funny because he just got both to try out. We just hung up or cork board. Well actually now that I think about it, the other things we got are from ikea via craigslist, but they are metallic rectangles with big blocky magnets, but I don't think it doubles as dry erase.
I guess I'll see what we like better soon enough.

sticky notes work well

high up on a clean painted wall
and maybe some shelves or "bill slot" type things hung a bit high too.
That works well with little kids, and can be a system that your older kids can use.
I wouldn't recommend the other two, for the reasons you listed.
Some really strong magnets on the fridge work too.
I have paperwork spread throughout the house.
