Some classes can/should be done in pencil. Math for one is good.

I'd prefer a writing class in pencil as well. Everyones handwriting is going to hell.

I very much agree on math. But writing... I hardly ever handwrite anything anymore. Doesn't seem critical. And more time spent learning what to write than how to handwrite seems like a good trade.
