This is why mechanical pencils are better.

You dont need to hassle with the fucking pencil breaking and having to get up and spend half the period fighting the sharpener

when I was way younger, i fucking ate the wood of the pencil. ate so much wood that i almost trew up.

Why the fuck would you even tell this pointless story. ;)

Dude.
No.

kek

I worked with sixth graders in an old building. Fucking sharpeners in almost all of the rooms were worthless. I would try to sharpen pencils for kids, but even I couldn't get them to work sometimes.

After a while, I just kept a bunch of mechanical pencils on me and lent them out..

It's fucked up when teachers get pissed at kids for not being able to work those stupid pieces of shit.

wtf? Sup Forums can have strict opinions on the most uniportant shit

I'm totally with him on this.

Pencils are for queers. Pens fuckin rool

>ballpoint
Try again, fountain pens are where it's at.

Also for queers. Hipster queers

I do love pens, but when I'd walk by kids doing their homework in pen, I'd groan internally, knowing how many they'd get wrong, statistically, and how difficult it will be to help them correct it.

>fountain
>not gell
fuck off grandpa

cross that shit out you dumbfuck

Wait till you right with one. They're awesome to use for signing things

How well do kids write? How much space does their writing take up? Will crossing it out make it all look nice and neat, or even fucking readable?

Anyway, most of the time, the teachers wouldn't accept it, and I just ran interference, trying to keep the kids out of the crosshairs of some of the more cruel teachers.

Bump

What's up? Got something to say on the topic?

Already did, see

Ah, lol

So I have a pretty minor stutter right
