Wasn't that fro cursive?
They need to bring it back!
I can smell it
100%
Where in life do you really need cursive? It’s just fancy penmanship. Focus that time in school on something more life skill, or liberal arts or something lol
For me it equals discipline and dedication to a craft over fancy lettering. I can't imagine the frustration kids with phone thumbs getting them to focus long enough the form a cursive g let alone a full three letter word.Where in life do you really need cursive?

While I understand your point. I’d rather that semester be spent learning a true life skill. I couldn’t tell you the last time I ever wrote anything in cursive. But I can tell you how many times I have had to help people do basic life skills that they were clueless about. Some folks out here can’t even check engine oil. Or balance a bank account. But that goes much deeper than this thread lol
That’s why you bought those vr glasses and a floppy rubber fruit?
Cursive is a waste of time. All you need to know is how to sign your name. The last time I wrote anything other than my name in cursive was probably 40 years ago, or whatever grade it was that they taught it back when I was in school.
Quite the contrary. Cursive is a time saver. It flows so much smoother and more quickly than print. I learned cursive in 3rd grade, and have never looked back. Only time I writ print is on field sketches and drawing notes.
Agreed. I can write fast in cursive or chicken scratch, but cursive is legible to other people when I'm done. I've also found it useful for birthday cards and other forms of handwritten notes. My handwriting is actually better than my wifes if I actually try. But most of the time is just a bunch of illegible scribble, haha.
Same. My normal writing is a combination. I try to print and end up linking letters.
Yes, but what life skills are you teaching at that age? Foundations skills like attention span, attention to detail and for some dexterity and motor skills like hand eye coordination. It builds many things. School in general needs to re-evaluate life skills training. Parents sure aren't getting it done but that introduces the argument we face now. Schools are not responsible for raising children.While I understand your point. I’d rather that semester be spent learning a true life skill.

Jake is 24 and he can write his name and read a few things but thats it.

Edit: just like cursive hand writing letters is a dead forgotten art and in that we lost another human connection.
