Why? How many people would ever use it?

Just saw a young lady the other day — she was 15. She could not SIGN HER NAME because they don’t teach cursive handwriting anymore.

Guess one day she will be unable to sign a contract to buy a home, a vehicle, or property ... or much of anything — sign her own checks, etc.

Guess they’ve probably planned it that way all along ...

Guess these kids will just make their “X.”

Pathetic.

My homeschooled 13yr is doing Algebra II. He is advanced by 1 yr. in math. I can’t imagine him doing Calculus at this age.

My 11 year old is doing calculus and linear algebra. All on his own. He can’t attend college until he is 13
