Teacher can’t read cursive?
I had several.
Or for bringing a healthy lunch from home.
Obviously the teacher cannot read cursive.
Shoot, I’m teaching my girls Spencerian Penmanship and I’m learning it at the same time! I bought fountain pens for them and after we all get better at it I’ll get the copperplate fountain pens that really make the writing look pretty!
I imagine this retard teacher would REALLY hate that!

Where did this happen?
Ok, what’s with the cursive problem (which we used to call HANDWRITING)?? The New York Times had an article this weekend on its evils. I couldn’t go through all their stupid explanations but something tells me this is more dumbing-down for the coming revolution. (Which may make Mao’s look like a picnic in St. James Park.)
Betcha good money that the teacher has a VERY punchable face
I teach a 4th Grade Boys Sunday School class. Every year for at least 15 years I give them all a Christmas card with some theme of the wise men and sign it “Wish Men Still Seek Him”. Two and a half years ago a dozen 4th grade boys in my class could not read those simple 3 to 5 letter words because I wrote them in cursive. I purchased and displayed nice copies of the Declaration, Constitution and Bill of Rights and explained these cursive words were their inheritance and birth right and their teachers were trying to keep them in an unknown language so they could steal their freedom. I teach all my kids their freedom is necessary if we are to spread the Gospel.
By what stretch is this considered news?
Write notes in cursive, and the snowflake millenials will accuse you of writing in secret code! It’s a hoot. I had to actually teach my boys how to write in cursive, on top of writing in print, because the schools had them on a keyboard by the first grade, and barely knew which end of a pencil to put to the paper, let alone figuring out what a pencil sharpener is, or how to use it.
This happened to me in 87, when I was a 2nd Grader.
My previous school district taught us cursive in 1st grade. After we moved, I was in a school where it was not taught until 3-4th grade.
For some reason it was forbidden to write in cursive in my class, but it was all I did, and really felt like a “big kid” when I learned.
Needless to say I was very shaken when my paper was ripped up in class. One of many things I grew to dislike about where my parents moved us to.
Sounds like “micro-aggression”...oh my. How will this teacher sleep at night? Cursive, the forgotten writings of old. I suspect future anthropologists will find this long dead style of writing to be on par with hieroglyphics. I get to see it die with my own life. Wish I knew HTML better and able to write in cursive. Anyone?
Damned shame. My Dad had good cursive penmanship. My Mom, fabulous. But they were born in the 1920’s. I am a fan of calligraphy, though being fond of mechanical and engineering things, drifted towards “lettering” as done on blueprints and such. As a draftsman for a few years, I strived to emulate a couple styles of former draftsmen in the company. Stylish but very clear and distinct. Just another font if you will.
This is the type of moronic “teacher” who would also reprimand a student for reading ahead
Most of my teachers hated me for that, Mainly because I always did my homework in class.the smart ones had me grade other classes papers instead.
I had teachers like that in the early grades. They put me off school for years.
Anyone remember the early 1960s typewriters that had cursive font? It looked real nice.
This is the libtard version of equality of opportunity. Destroy or hamper the highly intelligent, the strong, and the beautiful to make them equal to the stupid, the weak and the ugly.
So, you simply tell your kid that every report they turn in will from now on be written in cursive and if the teacher does not like it, too bad.
