I cringe when I see young adults write in block letters while holding a pen like a monkey holds a banana. They can’t read cursive never mind write it. When I was in Grammar school we had a penmanship lesson at least once a week for only an hour but in that short amount of time everyone learned the basics of writing and improved over the school year. Now that hour of time is used to indoctrinate them into being good little Naz Democrats. We really are in deep DOO DOO.

Your post reminds me of the South Park episode where the kids begin 4th grade. Cartman, upon seeing the alphabet in cursive writing, asks “What are those strange symbols?”

Degrees in Education and Journalism are among the most useless considering the absolute failure of their graduates.

I’ve been reading up on our Founding Fathers and when you see what they were reading as “kids” ... the intellectual books, the way they wrote .... unbelievable. No wonder they were the “giants” that they were back then. Just a “wild”, off the cuff statement ..... I suspect many folks in this country don’t have the reading skills/comprehension to read/understand the Bible, even a version that is not King James.
