I retired 9 years ago. They have not taught cursive for close to 20 years now.. I have made sure my own grand niece could write cursive when she was in 3rd and 4th grade.
Just more dumbing down, of the masses.
Unreal, isn’t it? And, so sad.
Yes...our grands are being/will be taught cursive.
Maybe it will be like a secret code language, some day.
