Today in the teacher’s room we were making a list of supplies to order, and the one request above all was that we really need to stop ordering colored dry-erase pens that have different scents.
Yes, they’re cheaper because they come as a set. But the smells are foul. The black “chocolate mint” pens make me gag. Both the “cherry” and “orange” pens smell like cough syrup. Students have complained about the fumes wafting from the board.
But let’s keep the “grape” pens. They kind of smell like wine, and that’s not so bad.

Are they seriously that much cheaper? Please tell me your boss let you order regular ones.
Also, if you like the smell of wine, just bring wine to class!
