You say ancient, I say timeless

By 7th grade some were already just taking smoke breaks.
Good chance to stretch the legs and get the blood flowing.
Get up to sharpen a pencil every 15 to 30, with building anxiety the longer you wait
With that big ass crank sharpener that was screwed to the counter beside the bin :)
ass-crank sharpener

Mechanical pencils are vapes?
so accuracte. never got to the point of refilling a mechanical pencil though id lose them like everyday
He's wrong for calling it a bin. Gross.
I don't think this experience is as universal as some people might think. Maybe it's because I grew up in a poor district, but most of those wall mounted sharpeners at the "bin" were broken or had been removed decades prior. And in the few select cases where they existed and were functional, the teachers would absolutely no put up with kids taking frequent or extended sharpening breaks.
