Makes me wonder, are pencils with an eraser attached to it not allowed or they’re just not popular? In here, we mainly use those in case we need to use pencils.
@Walter_vi_Britannia Maybe a test that had essay questions on it. Not being able to correct spelling & grammar mistakes in your essay answers could lead to losing points.
@manabi Why not just cut it? During the days when we were not allowed to use pens, I still used to cut every mistake because I was too lazy to grab an eraser. The teachers hated me for it, but they really couldn't cut points for that. I mean, if you know you made a mistake in an essay, you wouldn't leave it, right? You'd at least think to cut it.
