I've just been reminded of primary school. Back in those you needed to have a license to use a pen. No joke. You can say "do you have a loicense for that pen" and it's real.
The logic behind a pen license is that a pen is more slippery or whatever than a pencil. It's harder to control or whatever. So when you start school in year 1 you're given pencils. In like year 4 or whatever they start giving you the option to get a pen loicense but only if your handwriting is good. From there on you're allowed to use a pen in your books and worksheets.
I don't ever think I got one but I still eventually started to use pens anyway. My handwriting was so terrible (and still is) that the teacher in year 3 or 4 put me on a computer to write instead of writing in my book like a prole. They'd make you write in your book first then type. I just was allowed to type and print it off. I am a confirmed tard.

I think teaching cursive should be mandatory.
