I would suggest that instead of "hard copy is printed" that the student must then take a yellow Ticonderoga No. 2 pencil and carefully, in their best penmanship, transcribe their work to paper. This would add a new dimension to their work, would provide a link to their grandparent's generation, would teach them the skills of handwriting, would teach them to slow themselves and enter into the meditative state of the scribes of old, and finally, would delay for one more day the extinction of the faithful Ticonderoga (and perhaps the delay of the ability to write by hand). Shalom, Bro. Bartleby “This work could then be commented upon by other students and the teacher before a hard copy is printed for submission.”
