when that girl in the Trayvon Martin case said she couldn’t read cursive, I thought she was joking.

When I heard that girl say she couldn’t read cursive I thought she was stupid too, I didn’t realize that it wasn’t taught any more. I remember learning cursive many years ago, it didn’t take up that much time.

My handwriting is not great now because my hand cramps up but printing isn’t any easier.

That was the first time I had heard about this as well. Then I checked with my nephews and sadly that is the direction our Department of (UN)Education is going.

Many in their 20's now can't read and tell time on an analog clock, only digital.
