Chalk dust in the classroom. Hands going black. The whiteboard marker that doesn't stick to the board. You've cycled through all three and none of them hold up past week two. The Staedtler 344 chalk marker writes like chalk, cleans up like a marker, and doesn't leave a powder cloud every time a kid leans on the board. Five assorted colours in one pack — you've got red for corrections, blue for structure, and the rest for whatever the lesson plan throws at you. No dust. No smudging on fingers. Just write, point, move on
