Ugh. I feel your pain. I went to public school all my life, but elementary was actually good back in the 90's? I learned cursive by the time I was 9, and I've been writing in cursive since. I started writing actual stories during worktime back in 2nd-3rd grade because my teacher motivated me to, I was reading with the 2nd graders when I was in kindergarten, and placed in advanced spelling/Englihs classes by the time I was in 5th, reading post high school before I even reached 6th.
And then, high school. I'll never forget how often my English classes complained about having to read.
Or the time my second English class screamed out "what's a noun?" while doing ad-libs for a warm up.
