They teach cursive in third grade.  My kid loves to practice cursive, and it is surprisingly legible.  She's a girl, which may have something to do with that.

My uncle had beautiful penmanship. That may have something to do with the fact that it was the only class he actually showed up for. His mother went to the school one day and said "I'd like to see Tom" to which the prinicpal answered Yeah? So would  we! " (It ws the '30's - skipping school was a badge of honor!)

In Catholic school, we had no choice.  Either our handwriting was legible, or we'd get something across the face that anyone could understand.

I never enjoyed eating Elmer's Glue.  Elmer's Glue had another, much more important purpose---to coat the palms of one's hands in it, let it dry, and then peel it off.

I used to love to do that.

My handwriting has always been like chickens dancing around trying to write in Chinese.

Oddly enough, my Japanese handwriting is a bit better. I don't even write in cursive anymore because no one can understand it.
Not even me.

mmmmm crayons........ that reminds me of one time when I was little at a day care they had crayons shaped like Reeces Pieces cups, so much so I took a bite out of them and them immediately disliked the taste. it was crayon-y. That's the last time I've mistaken the Reeces Pieces shaped crayons for actual Reeces Pieces cups.

 Looking back at that time what right minded adult thought that Reeces Pieces cup shaped crayons were a good idea especuially with kids around?TongueConfused

Oh yeah I do remember tasting Play-Doh it was nasty LOL


I even remember the time I chewed one of my moms pills mistaking it for candy it tasted very tart and mediciny, hard to describe.

I even remember the time when I licked Pine Sol off the kitchen floor my mom was washing it tasted sweet. My parents panicked about that.

I tasted a lot of things, good times good times. LOL

LOL I used to LOVE doing that (but then I still get a sick satisfaction from peeling my skin and other people's in the summer:)

Another thing I used to love doing was taking my bottle of this clear brown glue with the rubber top that I think was supposed to allow the glue to glide along the paper (I wanna call it mueslix glue but I know that's wrong) and stick those crappy tasting Valentine heart candies into it and just stare at them in the bottle... and yes, my mother DID drop me on my head as a child thank you very much;)

craftychiq, yeah.  That clear stuff in the brown bottle with the angled rubber top that had a slit in it.  I forget what it was called, but I think it is something like "Mueslix".  Maybe it'll come to me.

Yeah, Holly, I was just about to post about "mucilage" and you put a pic of it up, thanks. It's the only kind of glue my dad, rest his soul, ever used.BTW, Thor, I hope your remark about the catholic schools was tongue-in-cheek.

Which one?  The slap-across-the-face one?  Nope.  I'd get those.  Mother Superior once slapped me back and forth across the face in front of the class, just because I hadn't been dotting my i's and j's.  I learned real fast.  As you can see, I now dot my i's and j's.

At the risk of sounding like my grandpa, when *I* was a kid growing up in Arizona, we didn't need a fancy electronic crayon maker.

A new crayon color.


I tried this once. It didn't work.
That may have been because I wasn't growing up in Arizona; I was growing up in Chicago. Also it was January.
So basically, what I ended up with was a bunch of froze-ass crayons.

After that, I just went inside and made fake boogers out of rubber cement...

THAT'S IT!!!!:-D Wow, for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was called. Do they still sell it anymore (does anyone still use it?) I just remembered I used to also squeeze Elmer's into it and make nice little fluffy clouds... coincidentally this was in Catholic school but without the penguins so it was ok;)

Btw, Thor, that reminds me of when I was in the 1st grade (different Catholic school, this one had nuns) and this girl accidentally knocked her book off her desk. Well, Sister Mary Penguin got so upset about it (because the previous year her students apparently thought it'd be funny to drop things off their desks) so she picked the girl up, held her over her head and asked her "How would you like me to drop you?" When she finally put her down, the girl threw up all over the floor...

... and so began my journey toward Paganism

We did the "drop things", too.  In our case, it was our pens.  At a designated time, we'd all start dropping our pens to the floor.  That was maybe the 6th grade.  We all thought we were really cool.
 
The puke story was fun.  I'm proud to say I never once puked in school, though.

LOL me either, never puked in public actually, but yeah if I remember right I think she'd taught the older classes in previous years but because of the whole dropping thing she became the 1st grade teacher. We ended up transferring to public school 3 years later when another penguin yanked a pretzel out of my younger sister's hand after recess scratching the hell out of it. My mom almost became the first person in history to punch out a nun (at least in our diocese;). I remember celebrating the switch by playing tug of war with our jumpers until they ripped

Ah good times

Did your school clean up the puke with that horrifying red sawdusty-looking stuff that smelled like it might have come from some kind of mutant tree in Hell? What WAS that stuff, anyway? It was almost worse than the puke!!!

Thor--My seventh-grade religion class literally drove a teacher around the bend with antics like that. A couple of days before the end of the year, she called in sick and never did come back to teach at our school anymore.

Years later, when I was teaching 7th grade, I learned a great deal about karma. Ying%20Yang

Nah, they're not too old, I'm 20 and I would play with that. Haha. I just don't have the space for things like that and that wouldn't be the first thing I would buy with my expendable income Cry

Those kids of the opposite sex could be brother and sister, and there's a lot of things they could be doing together that are a lot worse than making crayons Wink
