  standard math class blackboard puddle

  For GenZ: the whiteboard was a chalk board, and one way to wipe off chalk was with a wet sponge placed near a bucket. If the sponge wasn’t ringed out properly when wiping, a puddle could form by the board

    thank you for the explanation, as a genz myself I never personally witnessed a blackboard or chalk, since all my school had was levitating smartboards they purchased with their lavish budget.

      wait, really? where? what kind of budget do your schools have?!? i’m smack-dab in the middle of gen z, in one of the wealthiest parts of switzerland, and there’s always been at least one big-ass blackboard in every classroom i’ve ever been in, from 1st grade in primary school to every single lecture and seminar hall at university. most of my teachers until high school stuck to writing in pen on an overhead projector, and on the rare occasion that they needed to show something on the computer they’d just lower the blackboard and project onto the wall.
