It is entirely possible Opie didn't know how to write in the first grade. I started first grade in 1969 in a rural school in Oklahoma and we were just learning how to write our letters by tracing the dotted lines in the old chief tablets. Compared to today, my daughter is in 2nd grade and has to write comparison contrast sentences about stories they read in school. They started doing algebra in first grade. Different times.
