Having spent 33 years in a classroom. The best pencil, I found is the Dixon Ticonderoga.
I have no idea if they were associated w/ General Pencil at one time.

The pencils we use at work are made in Vietnam, they break easy and have plastic erasers(!?) which only smudge when you try to erase with them.
Yep, I know the kind you are talking about. They also use to (or still do) make frames for glasses that are made from metal so cheap just taking them off is enough to snap it in two. I found that out when I made the mistake of buying Eddie Bauer frames “made in Vietnam” if those were even real or counterfeit. I paid something like $220 for them WITHOUT the lenses and a few days later *SNAP*. It was like cardboard mixed with flecks of metal. I freakin hate that sht. These are scams, same with Apple products. They purposely put glass on their iphones, ipads that shatter easily and they have a whole department dedicated to replacing the glass providing them no doubt with more billions.

I’ve experienced that, too.
