Also how do you standardize pens? Pencils must be #2 lead. Maybe the thickness. Thicker pencils for small hands. Pens may still use those grippy block things but anyway.
There are fountain pens and ballpoint pens. Are you using inexpensive ballpoints that clot in weird places? Nicer ballpoints?
Fountain pens that run all over the place? Getting pen marked smeared on your page and the side of your writing hand?
Does each teacher announce which pen to use? Can you bring a pen that you got for free from the bank?
Thank you
