What method did your teachers use to present information when you were in school?
Was it a chalk board, white board, smart board, other?

And we had inkwells and quills
Later we were allowed to use a fountain pen.
Never a biro though, we were told it would spoil your writing.
At our posh new grammar school, the teachers used a black board.
I suspect this is all politically incorrect now.

@FreddieUK My Primary School used desks with ink-wells but certainly in the Fourth (so last) Year there we all used fountain-pens. Once in senior school we had to provide our own ink.
Our form-teacher called the new-fangled ball-point pen "Pigs'-Grease" and bad for our handwriting, but my writing was always ropey so I don't suppose my choice of pen affected it much. (We learnt hand-writing - or "joined-up writing" - in that same Year.)

@ArishMell The contempt for the ball point pen was, I think, pretty universal. I used a fountain pen for everything formal (including marking, with red ink) well into my 30s. I suspect the advent of word processing was the final factor in seeing off my fountain pen. My handwriting is now very poor compared with what it was.
