No, that was only for the rich kids. I really wanted one but my parents couldn't afford it.
No. I was too poor for fancy items like this.
Me too
Every room had a quality sharpener attached to the wall, so we didn’t need our own.
Must have been a prep school
No, I had a pocket knife. It's 59 years old.
Probably too stupid to use the slide calculator on it anyway.
Oh the smell of pencil shavings in the morning !
I guess I was rich enough because I had one. If you had that and a box of crayola crayons meant I had everything I wanted
Yes, and we were far from being rich.
Got that right.
That's how I memorize my multiplication tables in the second grade! I was way ahead of the curve!
Show a kid a slipstick today they'll probably try to roll a blunt with it.
Hell yes I had one. We had a hand cranked mechanical pencil sharpener at the top of our basement stairs at home also. Everybody had one somewhere in their house.
I never went to school.I self taught myself to read when I was 5 and up.I got my GED when I was 16 and joined the ARMY when I was 17.I was in Viet Nam from 1965 to 1970 and graduated from college in 1975.I have no regrets.
