I asked people if they liked regular pencils or mechanical pencils better. Here’s what everyone said:
- Bryn Mayo said mechanical pencils because they have longer life.
- Conner Knapp said mechanical pencils because if you break your lead, you can push more out.
- Stella Wilson said mechanical pencils are better because they are fancier.
- Landon Kalmer said regular pencils because the erasers last longer.
- Moses Dohner also said mechanical pencils because they are just better and last longer.
- Jordan Schulz said regular pencils because they last longer, and the lead doesn’t break as easily.
I guess Mechanical pencils take the win!!!
