Is this what we want kids spending that time learning in today’s society? Mind you, the age of cursive as a practical, daily application has passed.

At least they won’t be propagandized during this lesson, unless of course they have to write quotes from Mein Kampf.

I think I understand your position, just wonder if we have to dump reading writing and arithmetic to be progressive in education.

Why should it be a practical, daily application? Handriting practice teaches dexterity and precision, a developmental necessity.
