I suppose the schools didn’t teach me Hebrew and Greek in order to deny me access to a Bible.
Or.
Maybe.
It wasn’t worth the time to do such a thing when it’s easy enough to find a copy of the Bible in a language I can read...
Your value is in the argumentative logic of your language, and for that I thank you ... the rest .... you’d be a pain in the ass.
I’ve largely forgotten how to write cursive. Haven’t used it since sometime in high school - which was the early 70s for me. By college, I was printing as fast as I could do cursive, and the results were easier on the eyes. Other than writing checks, I haven’t used cursive writing in 40 years.
Baloney! The “time” it takes to practice cursive can very well be deducted from the “time” the kids of today spend on computer games and perpetual texting on their personal phones!
Shakespeare, Milton, Scott, Pascal and zillions of others who are outdated don’t need to be studied either, do they?
Dumbing down of America takes many forms and you are aiding and abetting the effort.
