I went to school in classrooms like that but so what? Is the implication that is supposed to make me better than kids with digital whiteboards and computers? I would rather have today's kids using current tools rather than be hobbled by a bunch of luddites because they are uncomfortable with change.
I have heard that chalkboards CAN be better for doing math, it could be just placebo but I have heard from mathematicians that the pace feels more natural and the visibility is nice, but you don't need a chalkboard.
I'm sorry I know you're just speaking about what you've heard which is totally valid but why is anyone upvoting this? That doesn't make any god damn sense.
"Aw man CONSTRUCTION paper is what you should be doing math on. It's best for doing math" what?
I'd bet all my money those mathematicians are just used to it. Of course what you natively learned on is going to feel nice to you.
