- stu_harvey 11y agoPlease use common sense; no, the chalkboards have not been "used for 100 years", the school seems to be in the process of replacing the whiteboards and uncovered these boards from underneath their old boards. Hence, the work on them is 100 years old. "The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: civil and substantial."
- SanFranManDan 11y agoI just love comments that are quick to attempt to point out someones stupidity but at the same time reveal their own. The comment you replied to is saying the boards that covered up these "time-capsule" boards have been used for 100 years. :)
- ghshephard 11y ago"This week, contractors removing old chalkboards at Emerson High School in Oklahoma City made a startling discovery: Underneath them rested another set of chalkboards, untouched since 1917." So, presumably, the "old chalkboards" being removed by contractors have been there since 1917, or approximately 100 years.
