Guess this means they will be adding cursive fonts to the keyboards?
Totally STOOOOOOOOPID to have dropped it in the first place.
People need to be able to function in situations where they don’t have electricity or internet access.
I have never seen Spanish cursive.
Sounds retarded to me.....and racissss.
That spoils my plans to open a business that supplies interpreters and translators to the kids that are unable to read it.
I am glad to hear this. I have always admired excellent handwriting. Handled some paperwork today, and had some signature envy for the beautiful penmanship this lady used.
My thumbs cause me such pain that I only like to write in cursive (or type on a keyboard). I like the smooth legato-like style of cursive as opposed to the staccato style of printing.
I’d be happy if they just taught manuscript - that’s fallen by the wayside, too.
My mom had beautiful cursive handwriting. Myself, not so much. I struggled all the way through grammar school trying to produce something readable.
So maybe the next generation coming up will be able to read the founding documents as they originally were printed. The dolts in school now can’t do it. My friend had to read her 14-year-old granddaughter’s birthday cards to her when people had included small notes of good wishes.
I love to write, but I know mine never will look as good as my dad’s handwriting. Beautiful.
You mean they are going to teach kids how to write?
I’d rather learn to write in Times New Roman, in both Italic and Bold.
As an elective. Writing in cursive is about as useful as learning the Morse Code.
My kids are learning cursive but they go to a Catholic school, not the terrorist creating and leftist indoctrination centers called public school.
JoMa
It is totally unreasonable to expect public schools to teach cursive.
Out of the annual Texas budget of $130 Billion, only between $25 Billion and $30 Billion goes to public schools.
This is a measly less-than-half of the budget of Texas public schools (i.e. $60-something Billion per year). The rest is obtained from federal tax dollars ($6 Billion) and local taxes ($30 Billion).
If Texas Public Schools are forced to divert these limited funds (around $13000 per student per year) to teach cursive, it will mean other areas—such as gender inclusivity and sensitivity training—will have inadequate funds.
This is an outrage!
Maybe a judge can put a stop to this. It’s almost certainly racist and discriminatory because minorities will be hurt the most. Someone call Southern Poverty Law Center and the ACLU. It’s for the children!
That's retarded, sir.
Wow, they’re actually going to teach usable skills. Progressive liberals should be outraged.
Kids will finally learn how to make a signature. :D
