<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 200093, member: 23&quot;]My mother only went to the 8th grade in a one-room schoolhouse in NH and then went to work in shoe factories as did her siblings.&nbsp; Certainly, no one in that milieu cared if or how they communicated.&nbsp; However, like many French Canadian immigrants in the early 1900s, girls were sent to live at the convent until they were 6 or 7 and she learned beautiful cursive from the nuns.&nbsp; My brother and I had to use proper grammar and write well.&nbsp; My children and grandsons all write in cursive even though they spend more time on the computer.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s up to the family to press the issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
