Waste of time.
Identify those who promoted the removal of cursive writing in schools and make sure those people are not part of any school administration, not even playground monitor.
They should also teach proper penmanship.
This sounds like racism!
Have to be able to sign their names to EBT card forms, etc.
People that will never learn to read above a 3rd grade level will never learn to write in cursive.
As an adult in this modern world I only write on paper to take quick notes if it’s faster than using an electronic device.
That being said, children need to learn cursive if for any simple reason for teaching discipline...
“Are catching up or are we coming back?”
Coming back. Teaching cursive is probably more symbolic than of substance, but what it indicates is that OUR PEOPLE are calling the shots. There is no way a Leftist would ever support this.
Are there any teachers there who know enough about cursive to be able to teach it?
The reason for the push to quit teaching cursive: Many of he Founding Documents of this nation are written in cursive. If a generation of people can’t read them, they can fooled about what the documents actually say.
For example, I have seen the Second Amendment “rewritten” in many different ways. However, people who can read the actual real Second Amendment — even snowflakes — can spot the lies.
PS Not sure if we are catching up or coming back, but either is OK with me...
I think this is coming back (to good traditional values) and is a good sign. The founding documents were penned in cursive and every American citizen should be able to read and understand them.
Note: I’d initially thought “La.” meant Los Angeles, and did a double take. This is really more of a thing that traditional Louisiana (and not so-called “progressive” California”) would think of.

anybody can forge a printed name... but it's hard as hell to forge sh!tty handwritingMy Mother was taught the Palmer method of cursive. She taught it to all of us kids.
Which means that all these decades they haven’t been teaching children to write, most parents never noticed.
“Asleep” means thinking that the principal “systems” in society were designed and are run by intelligent, well-meaning people. Government schrools, fiat money, Obamacare, etc
We were at a flower shop getting flowers for a funeral, wife had the order written in long hand. The young twit taking the order proudly declared she cannot read cursive and said we’d best print it out for her.
Her co-worker frowned at her, brushed her aside and helped us out. The twit just stood there with a goofy grin on her face.
She had no business working in a place where grieving people come in, the last thing they want is to be told what to do by some stupid person thinking they are smart.
Penmanship should be taught... cursive writing is nice....
