My SIL homeschools her three boys. She didn’t see why there’s such a fuss about cursive, and was OK with printing.

I told her that if the education system can keep kids ignorant about cursive, then future generations won’t be able to read the founding documents. It didn’t take her two seconds to change her mind.

...then future generations won’t be able to read the founding documents.

Is it REALLY that necessary to do that instead of being able to read the EXACT SAME THING printed in New Courier?
