My daughter (6) saw my wife writing in cursive (I write primarily in 'microscopic tech/engineer print'). She was fascinated and started learning to write in cursive at home - and she is good at it. She decided to try her new found skill in school. She was scolded (the teacher wrote 'Do not write in cursive!' on her paper) and she was marked down in her penmanship 'grade' (which aren't grades any more, but that's a subject for another thread). So much for encouraging self-learning. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
