Things Heard in the Classroom

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.
