I loved pounding chalkboard erasers for my mom, a first grade teacher in my school. She would save them for after the 3pm bell….just for me.

Granny,you make me feel old.Didn’t have ink wells,but erasers,chalkboards,and the teachers pets bringing apples for teachers,I do remember ;)

Apples aren’t what they used to be.

This was real close to home for me.

Took me a while to figure out that the round hole at the front of my desk, was where you put the ink bottle..

Maybe he’ll get lucky, and the teacher will show a filmstrip today

Actually, these days they don’t have whiteboards they have smartboards! They can not only “write” things on the board but they can also show videos and such on there too. I’m assuming they’re like huge tablets or something. My son has had one in every class since First Grade but I don’t think most of his teachers utilized them as much as they should since I’ve only seen one teacher of his actually use it while I happened to be there.

I found a smartboard they use in most classrooms these days instead of chalkboards and whiteboards: https://education.smarttech.com/products/smart-board-interactive-flat-panels
