Abstract: We give a new proof, in scheme-theoretic language, of Tate's classical result on genus change of curves over imperfect fields in characteristic $ p>0$. Namely, for normal geometrically integral curves, the difference between arithmetic and geometric genus over the algebraic closure is divisible by $ (p-1)/2$.
