Apologies - predictive text on a phone not being very helpful as so often!
I don't want to drag an important thread off the point entirely, but I wonder if there are state schools that still use blackboards and chalk? I've personally not seen it, but maybe somewhere.
Only the maths teachers in my school get fancy interactive boards, I have a white board and an ever disappearing collection of squeaky black pens to write on it! 😀
