Granted, I haven't tried it yet...

Does it have those stupid "monkey tails" on every letter?  My son had to do that too.  Looked ridiculous.

That's the bunny.

Is it denelian?  That's how we learned to write at our school.

THANK YOU.  I was blanking on the name of the technique.

I know I'm about a year older than you, Alice... I guess I just missed the denelian cutoff.

I think it's a derivation of denelian- but it wsan't the one I learned!

I don't think it's a bad idea, actually.  I think it helps improve handwriting in general - and does make it easier for kids to learn and write cursive eventually.

You learned it, so you would know.  As a third/fourth grader, I didn't experience any difficulty making the transition without any intermediary.  I guess it depends upon the tools you have -- you CAN use a flat screwdriver in most phillips-head screws, but why would you want to when you have a phillips-head?

Did that make any sense?

[Alice]

To be fair though, I also didn't not learn it - so I can't say that not learning it makes any difference either.  Hooray double negatives!

I had a hard time writing to begin with because I'm left handed.  That caused more issues with shit at school than I think people realized.  (Now, however, I have gorgeous handwriting! )

Do you remember Matilda Bay wine coolers?

In 1989 I was 12.  I was in the 6th grade, I think.  Depends on what month it was, I guess.  I didn't start drinking til 7th grade.

Yes, and Bartels and James.  The first time I got drunk it was on home made wine coolers, as California Coolers had not come out yet.

I remember my grandma sending me in to buy her a pack and she said she wanted a box, so I thought she wanted a carton, and I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't sell them to me for $2.

I started smoking at 13.  By then the legal age was 16.  Just before I turned 16, they raised it to 18.  I was mad.

I was 5.  My baby brother was born.  I burned my hands (3rd degree burns).  Uh, what else happened?  Oh, Anthony wasn't born.  I was going to say he was a fetus, but he wasn't.  Good God.
