Five years?? TBAR

My 10-year-old learned cursive back in second grade, all their subsequent work has to be in cursive. I use the computer more than her – she’d rather curl up and read a book. She devours books like Grover devours cookies. There IS hope for the next generation.

I’ve overheard parents talking, concerned that, because of keyboarding, their kids aren’t learning any kind of handwriting..

Don’t you use cursive when you write a check? Wait?Do people still pay with checks?I wrote a lot of them when I was still working and the company wanted them written out in a very specific fashion…no spaces.

my wife cursive’s at me everyday…..

You do know how to write computer code, right? I mean, it’s just keyboarding.

I work with an engineer and they had to make him quit writing in the logbooks at our machines because we couldn’t read his printing.

I’m fluent in cursive…
