I just found out that schools do NOT teach cursive writing anymore. Think in 50 years someone finds a document written in. Cursive. They won’t be able to read it.

Like the Constitution.

...and drive their “professors” into the sea.

Now, now. We do want to maintain some clean water standards!

My Daughter’s school will be teaching her cursive in 2nd grade. That was a subject of my conference with her teacher and principal.

From the very beginning, when printing is introduced, the child should be taught how to hold the pencil correctly. This will help prevent carpal tunnel damage in their hands later in life.

Now that I am retired, I study visual arts at our local community college. There is **plenty** of reasons in that department to use a pencil and a computer stylus.
