I subbed for a week and a half for a teacher who was on a school sponsored trip. Close to the end of that time period, one 8th grade student asked me how to write a lowercase "f" in cursive. I wrote one on the board. A few minutes later same student asked me how to write a lowercase "b" in cursive. I wrote that on the board. The student spent quite a bit of time studiously working on the assignment. "You know", the student said, "I'm going to bring back the lost art of cursive writing." How I wish it were always that easy to motivate students to do their work...although I had nothing to do with the motivation.
