I do remember being taught why "I" is capitalised when I was in primary school (sometime way back last century)

"I" is a substitute for your name, when referring to yourself in communications (both in thought, oral and written). A person's name (given, middle and surname) starts with a capital. Thus the requirement for the "I" to be capitalised as well.

Regardless of an other explanations, this one, taught by a teacher 40 plus years ago, works well for me.
