I'm 14 and I hate stupid crap like this, I just start lying for fun, closing random windows, ARP poising and taking down my network when I'm pissed, etc.
I'd recommend you back of any kids above 13-14 as they're old enough to understand what's right and wrong and francly [sp] unless you live in Nebraska, they already know everything there is to know... If you just start bugging them then they'll just resent you and go to school the next day and talk about what an evil dad they have, anything younger I'd have rules, but don't be too strict, or absurd.
I love pens, the problem I have with pencils is they smear so easily, take a piece of paper an draw a line in pencil, and now in pen, let it dry for 10 seconds and rub, the pencil will smear very easily, I write in notebooks all the time in school, and I have learned to use pen, because I have had to re-write notebooks because the first 10 pages were just HUGE grey pencil smear blobs, use pen if you can.
My favorite pens have to be thick ones, because it's easier to move and because generally they are higher quality. Or just a cheapo papermate that you can get 5 for a buck, mostly because I can't afford the thick ones since I lose them so easily...
We should start a new thread about how to get people to stop stealing your pen:-P
