I grew up in New Zealand.

Our writing stationery was pencils; the teachers didn't want young students using pens until the student could demonstrate competency in writing neatly. But after that, all the students used cheap ballpoint pens; maybe a gel or rollerball pen.

I never encountered fountain pens until the end of high school.

The hallowed pen licence! Our classroom had a sheet on the wall listing those who were allowed to be issued pens. Didn't make mine until year 6 I think.

Damn, I still wouldn't be allowed a neat writing device under that regime.
