[etni] Cursive

I am now retired from primary school teaching, but I want to recount one 
memory. I used to teach cursive to my sixth graders; I had a chart on the wall 
showing the letter formation. On one of her visits, the English inspector for 
my school (now also retired) noticed the poster and FORBADE me to "waste lesson 
time teaching cursive". She said the kids who were interested could buy 
booklets and teach themselves. So I stopped. It wasn't worth my while 
aggravating an otherwise very helpful inspector. The high school teachers could 
cope with the problem!
