A chalkboard can be a difficult monster to keep clean. When you erase it, the chalk dust doesn't go away; it just gets spread around. It creates a fine new layer of dust across the board which can build up and make it difficult to write on. Not only that, the dust gets everywhere, and after a while you find yourself breathing it in. What's more, as a teacher, I know how annoying it can be to brush up against a dirty chalkboard when wearing black clothing.
