I'd learned perfectly good cursive writing, and then was required to use that awful stuff for a year, which I suspect made me un-learn cursive for the most part. Then, beginning in 6th grade, I don't believe there was a requirement one way or another, and I wound up sticking with print instead of cursive or that stupid hybrid.
You are *supposed* to create your own hybrid print/cursive *after* you age out of penmanship exercises, not have it TAUGHT...for goodness sake! Bleck! Oh well! I really sound old now..."When I was young..." and all.


Oh well.
Obsidian usually assigns me around 100 to 200 lines of something that she wants to pound in my head. Obsidian tends to be pretty thoughtful about the *exact* sentence she wants me to write. For more minor offenses, she has assigned 50, and the most she has ever assigned me was 400 of a very long sentence...for a clean slate, major offense deal...which was part of a detention situation.
Obsidian *does* have one particularity, though. She likes each page to have the same about of lines, 25 on each side. If the sentence is too long for one line, I can do 25 on a page using the front and back side, but then it is only 25 per page.
