Love the guy. He is all the time saying some politically incorrect thing.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He’s criticizing the teacher, not the students. He’s asking if they teach certain things. I’m not going to get bent out of shape about him giving an honest assessment of someone’s handwriting. Kids need to learn to take constructive, honest criticism. Especially in school. If they can’t, God help them when they actually have to perform in the work world.

I’m afraid that old-fashioned cursive writing is fast becoming a thing of the past. My father and grandmother both had beautiful Spencerian penmanship; and I think it was a useful kind of training, far beyond the obvious value of penmanship, for kids.

But I think it’s gone; unless there is some kind of cultural revival.

The Duke seems to have forgotten that "Sir" tried to get the same message across about 50 years ago.

And he failed.

The guy’s right. ;

Oh that will bring down the nut jobs

The generation between 12- 30 in the USA public schools are known b their serious lack of penmanship, a lost art that is not taught at all. RWIW My Southern grand children can write fairly legible cursive...my north eastern grandchildren both write a most legible print and a fairly legible cursive.

That is funny because the photostat of his oldest son’s handwriting was almost illegible and filled with rambling run-ons.

After a hand injury, I have not been able to write cursive. I could still do lettering (different from printing). This was before there was a computer on every desk, and engineers still had to have drafting board skills.

[Slyfox]

Better not come an American public school. They don’t teach handwriting anymore.

Have always struggled with my handwriting one of only 2 ‘D’s in my life through grad school (Wint talk ‘black magic’ here). Worked hard in 6th grade to get the coveted free quill pen, then I quickly fell back into poor patterns of haste. Have had some tell me my writing is beautiful, but I know compared to others it’s a scrawl. When I’m in a hurry these days it an odd combination of cursive and print...someday I’m sure someone will look at my journals and wonder what language it was in.... which makes me wonder about those older docs....
