Sending Notes

I've been out of grade school (Elementary or Middle or whatever they're calling it now) for a very long time.  But I remember!  I'm not talking about the 1.25 mile walk (each way) in snowstorms that would now be called blizzards as you might be expecting.

Not only have Departments of Education revised the classifications for schools, it seems that everything is changing.  (Side Bar:  Since I mentioned winter, what did they do to the windchill calculations?  I've heard that a recent windchill of -22 would have been -40 when I was a kid.  Getting off track, though.)

Today, I'm wondering about cursive.  Yes, that's the newest word for handwriting now.  And again, not only has the name changed, but schools aren't looking to teach this craft anymore either.
