Was ink and feathers used at school in the 1960's?
No, the ballpoint pen had all ready been invented 40 years before. Comment: It's not quite that simple. I was at school in England in the 1950's and 1960's. We did not use ballpoint pens in the 50's. We used pens with metal tips which we dipped into ink. That's not "feather quill and ink", but it's the same basic method. In the 60's we used either "fountain pens" containing ink or the ballpoint pens. Obviously it depends where you were at school, but I agree the use of " ink and feather" was many years before the 1960's ADDITIONAL INFO I was in American schools in the 1960's and we used ball point pens and pencils. Never had what is described at the English school.
