Heck, writing out messages with quills was probably quite a hassle. But here's the deal: Back in the day, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth (Okay, maybe not that long ago), the human race was not so fortunate as to having convenient access to computers to bring to school. I'm sure most older students are much more independent and motivated to do this without the aid of their parents. As school is quickly approaching around the corner, parents help their kids prepare by dropping by the local store to pick up some school supplies.
