Aw, honey

Conversation with a student this week:

Me: ...so, if you want to put a reserve on a book, you just write the title and your name here, and we'll let you know when the book is ready for you to pick up.
Student:  *writes*
Student, looks up at me, eyebrow raised: You can read cursive, can't you?

I assured him that not only can I read cursive, I can actually write it, too.

F-list--can you???

Both my mother and my sister do calligraphy, and my sister has done wedding invitations. I'm sure I could jump on the bandwagon if I put my mind to practicing it, but... yeah. Practice? Nah.

Making cursive a law seems almost laughable, but I do think it's sad if students don't even get the chance/incentive to learn it. It doesn't have to look like a Medieval scroll in order to be beautiful and useful.
