I can't find many references to this online - either fountain pens, or the 'master scribe' thing.
Certainly it wasn't the case when I went to school in 90s/00s UK - I had a cheap fountain pen, but only because I hated ballpoints and was experimenting with alternatives. I don't remember anybody else in my school having one or talking about them.
In the end I settled on the Uniball Eye as my favourite pen, and have been using it ever since. Glides like a fountain pen, but with less faff about the ink.
- stordoff 8y agoIt was certainly the case when I went to school (forced to write in fountain pen; born 1990), at least through primary school, and still appears to be the case at some schools (examples: [1], [2]). (End result: I write in print...)
