Yes eating pencils is bad for you. Do you eat them? ;-) Modern pencils are made of wood and carbon rod, and as such are not harmful they are made keeping in mind that a lot of people chew on the end of their pencils while they are using them. The old fashioned lead pencils on the other hand were harmful if they were eaten but they are not normally available any more.
don't let him use pencils until he stops
he made his first billion by petting a cat and saying, "Meow!"
A wise old saying is a proverb
#2 wooden pencils vary by the type of wood used, from 6 to 10 grams each (0.2 to 0.3 ounces). I just individually weighed 8 unused old-fashioned wooden pencils. All were unsharpened and had unused erasers. They were all about 7½" long. Some were round, some were hexagonal. I used a digital scale accurate to 0.01 ounces. The weights ranged from 0.17 ounces to 0.22 ounces. Total weight of all eight pencils was 1.56 ounces, giving an average of 0.195 oz. Since all pencils had been stored in the same container, we can assume all had the same moisture content, so the small differences are explained by variances in the density of the type of wood used.
Well you see, when you write something with a pencil, you leave behind tiny particles of graphite. Of course we see this as pencil markings becasue the particles are so tiny. Now after long periods of time, the graphite particles begin to fall off the paper depending on how old the paper is. This is why we see out old papers with faded out pencil markings. Now I could be totally wrong but if someone is willing to edit the response, feel free to do so.

No, there is not. This was a saying that was made up over 100 years ago.
An old and often-repeated saying is commonly called a sawor a maxim.
Yes it is a very old saying
Tutors using the Orton-Gillingham method may use pencils with no erasers to encourage students to focus on building phonetic and spelling skills without relying on erasing mistakes. This helps develop a stronger foundation in decoding and encoding words, enhancing overall literacy skills. It also promotes a growth mindset by emphasizing that mistakes are part of the learning process.
He carves old pencils by hand with a sharp knife. Nothing else.
