The amount of perfectly fine colouring pencils one of my teachers (I’m a cleaner) threw out for the new school year

Yes I did remove them from her bin because what the hell!? They’re literally fine. One of my coworkers helps out with an after school club and says they are really short of colouring pencils so they will be used!

Some really old pencil crayons go "stale", affecting the vividness and blendability. But they'd probably still be fine for general classroom use even so... 😅
