I am on the opposite side of your spectrum. Serious question: Are there any bad experiences from school that you might associate with chalk and chalk boards?
The only thing I hated was to clean the board, if the sponge was old and stinky. But I always liked the idea that chalk is so simple. There is always this feeling of guilt when I have to use a whiteboard, because of the eco balance.
- Dylan16807 9y agoMining and shipping chalk isn't environmentally free either.
- the_gastropod 9y agoVirtually no consumption of any kind is environmentally free. But some things are less costly than others (like chalk is to plastic)
- scott_s 9y agoI have no negative experiences related to chalk boards. But I don't like picking up chalk or touching chalk boards. It's something about the texture that makes me shiver, and it gets on my hands. I can avoid marker on my hands by being careful. Oddly, I greatly prefer hearing someone write on a chalk board. The sound is satisfying to me.
- Kluny 9y agoMy favorite thing about the old chalkboards was how my elementary school teachers used a damp chamois to wipe them clean, leaving a perfect, even swathe of green where they wiped.
- thomastjeffery 9y agoWhen I was a kid, I would eat chalk. Even so, I hated the sound, the dust, etc. It has nothing to do with experiences; simply the scraping sound and rough, dry, dusty texture. I have always had the same uncomfortable reaction to chalkboards. Even pencils are enough to give me goosebumps. I prefer a mechanical pencil (less surface area) or a pen.
- cortesoft 9y agoI don’t have any bad memories with chalkboards and school. I was a very good student and enjoyed school. I always remember feeling this way, even when I was very young. I also hated doing projects with construction paper as a kid, too, because of the texture of the paper.
