  Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.

  I prefer whiteboards in the very specific case of none of the markers being dead.  if there's a high chance of markers being dead i prefer blackboards.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  Full disclosure: I have a whiteboard above my desk because it's much easier to find reasonably-sized whiteboards for personal use than blackboards.

  I can deal with blackboards but I typically prefer whiteboards, mostly because dry erase was what I had around since middle school or so

  Blackboards for sure. I don't know if I can fully articulate why but somehow it's just a better experience.
  
  Though I agree with Calica inasmuch as the whiteboard experience is much more tolerable with fresh markers.

  Dry-erase boards are less messy than chalkboards.

  When I was in Year 6 (10/11 years old), my classroom was the only one in the school that had a blackboard.
  
  They replaced it with an interactive whiteboard when I left.

  Whiteboards.  Blackboards are horrible horrible things that leave chalk dust everywhere and make this awful screechy sound just from drawing on them.

  
  

  Also chalk dust has long-term health implications because it accumulates in your respiratory system (i.e., if you're a lecturer and use it on a daily basis), and goes pretty much everywhere when you erase.  Whiteboards, at worst, mean you need to rub your fingertip with a wet-wipe.

  But you can't do this as easily on a whiteboard.
