Study on ruled vs unruled paper?

Erasers? You had erasers? ...

I had a teacher who was so frugal, she made us erase anything that was wrong on the page and rewrite it. If it was wrong again, repeat. I had times where I was so 'effed up I erased right thru the page.....

She even had a collection of card board backers for the really specific pads she required in class, and this was second grade.... I remember it well, although, I do not remember the specific paper, but it had a map of all the counties of New York State on it. She also required that we write in 4H pencil, as opposed to the typical #2H now a days that can be read by a scanner.

as opposed to the typical #2H

I had a teacher who was so tough, she'd say "I said a #2 pencil. This looks like about a 1.98. Go find a 0.02 and fill them in."

I do miss the iconic 482 Faber Mongol pencil. Also immortalized in the movie Animal House.

I remember the teacher telling us we must "bring a number two pencil " to the test. I thought it was a very odd way to say we needed to bring 2 pencils. Seriously, I didn't get it for a long time.
