When I was growing up, Maryann R. was a fellow student who came from a quite well-to-do family, her parents were much older than all of the other parents, maybe in their fifties as opposed to their thirties. I seem to remember she and I had attended school together since second grade. During seventh or eighth grade, she suddenly disappeared, and reappeared in tenth or eleventh grade. She mused that her parents had thought she was getting too wild and put her in a Catholic all-girls school to address the problem, but it has backfired because her behavior got worse instead of better. She found it very funny, and was glad to be back among her friends in public school. In her teenaged mind, she saw it as scoring a victory over her parents.~ less

Other consider cursive too tedious to learn and question its usefulness because of the widespread usage of computers and the teaching of "keyboard proficiency" instead of cursive.

Typing on the manual typewriter was difficult after using an electric typewriter because I had to exert more pressure on each key to produce the desired letter/numeral, etc.
