When I was in school in the late 1960s, newly
installed "blackboards" were green. In the 1970s,
newly installed "blackboards" were brown. I was
at the local elementry school last year, and many
teachers were using whiteboards. (I believe the
dust in the air from using chalk has become a
health concern.)
