Mrs.G-H, if you’re reading this, I just want you to know that I exclusively do math in gel pen and I hope you’re fuming about that

I haven’t touched a pencil in years.

She also said I’d fail her math class and work at McDonald’s for the rest of my life. Only one of those is true though 😉

I do all my hand calculations exclusively in bright pink glitter gel-pen; I didn’t suffer through secondary school to not use this freedom

Amen

wh-what happens if you fuck up pretty badly and there’s perfectly good math on most of the page

If I need to be handing it in, it’s in LaTeX

Also you box it off and mark it as incorrect so that you don’t make the same mistake again.

Is it common some places that teachers ask you to do maths in pencil? I’ve never encountered that and I wonder if it’s related to region

In the USA: my teachers from K-12 insisted I did math in pencil.
