Dear Mr Sean Hehir
I’m not sure how things work in America
In Australia as children going to school we start our learnings doing finger painting , then we learn to use crayons for drawing & start to learn how to spell our names .
We then advance to using a pencil, once we reach a certain level we start to use what’s called a pen , we need to be advanced in this art form to achieve our pen licence.
If you’re unaware Mr Hehir a pen is used for very important documents, like witnessing the signing of contracts.
