Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 168971, member: 136"]Heck, I was born in the 1950's, and that chalkboard doesn't look "strange" to me at all! My elementary school teachers (K-4, anyway) ALL used to draw "relevant" illustrations on the board in colored chalk and leave them there for days, or even weeks, at a time! I remember Mrs B's "3 ships of Columbus", Mrs H's changing holiday icons, and Mrs R's "weather forecast" suns, clouds & showers... As for cursive, I was taught by one of the best. My handwriting looked EXACTLY like the examples that were displayed across the wall, above that chalkboard! Then, in the late 1970's, when I was working in the DC area, a few company checks were stolen - and cashed - with MY signature on them! I can still recall the police officer pointing to the canceled checks, demanding, "Is that YOUR signature?" As I told him, "It might be, but I did not sign those checks!"[/QUOTE]
