Waaaay back in elementary and middle schools we were taught to use the Oxford comma, but by the time I reached high school the "serial" comma had grown out of favor. I distinctly remember one of my teachers critiquing one of my papers and when I responded with the "but that's how we were taught to do it" I was met with the rules changed, we don't do that anymore.
