Do you remember when teachers used a chalkboard? Now they use a Promethean board - a large screen connected to a computer. It's actually amazing!

Yep I do! One of my teachers used to scratch her nails on it, if we misbehaved!

Do you remember handwriting classes with a mandatory fountain pen in school?

I remember Mrs.Kershaw in 1st juniors (age 8/9) teaching us. Also remember getting a wooden ruler across the hand for mucking about in class.

Fountain pens weren't mandatory when I was a child, but on a similar note many of our desks had a hole in the upper-right corner for an ink well.

Luckily, my hand never met the ruler!

I'm really glad I learned to write in such an old school way and still carry a fountain pen.

We had similar desks at secondary [UK>US: high] school only the frames were metal and the seat flipped up. I loved those desks. I made sure my name was on the inside of the lid in my class home room.
