Good riddance to them But, but, but ... what about spitballs? When I was a kid 50 years ago we used those $0.19 Bic pens. (We also used ink pens, but that's another discussion). The Bic pens unscrewed very easily. Leaving you with a nice clear tube. You tore up pieces of paper into tiny wads and covered them with spit. You used the Bic tube to shoot them at your classmates. Don't kids still do that? Without spitballs how will bored preteen boys pass their days while being stuck in boring classes? I suppose that nowadays Ritalin and Adderal are the preferred answers. But the better answer is to have more engaging teachers. I switched schools in 7th grade and the classes were much less boring. No more spitballs. Better teachers or perhaps more mature kids?
