Great read!!

I was never thought curssive writing at school but it doesn't matter, because I am learning now

Interesting read. It's sad how testing drives our educational system in the U.S. Testing is important as a measurement, but IMHO, it shouldn't dictate curriculum.

Yet another article bemoaning "kids these days". There has to be a more interesting angle for these stories. A teenager finds an old diary and teaches his/herself cursive to decode it and solve a mystery. Hmm ... that sounds like an episode of Bones.

In resecession times as I see now, I predict a new kind of job (Cursive handwriting interpreter) a.k.a. Paleography :hmm1:

It's odd, I'm 19 and I was forced to write in cursive through the third grade. We all had to use it. But my younger sister, who is 11, was not taught it at all. It's a shame how all these kids are going through school on chicken scratch.

This is so surreal, I am completely unable to find the right words. Why are some countries willfully neglecting cursive?
