Not Barron’s signature — he’s printed his name, and it’s a bad job at that, even for an 11 y/o. Many schools no longer teaching penmanship or cursive writing. Having said that, my penmanship and cursive writing have become horrible...too many years tapping away on a keyboard.

I agree with you about Barron’s “signature”. We homeschool and mom is death from above on handwriting. My son’s cursive is almost calligraphic, and the embassy here used him to write out invitations for the Marine Ball and other functions.

There is nothing that says education better than a beautiful signature.

Cursive writing is now the secret code of those of us over 50. And I agree - my penmanship too deteriorates unless I use it. Like any other learned skill, it requires exercise.

Wrong, he signed it, it is his signature. Have you seen copies of the new dollar bill?

Sec. Tres. prints his signature so that it is legible.

Mnuchin told Wallace that he had printed his signature on the bill, even though past secretaries had signed the bill, because his previous signature was messy. “I felt since it was gonna be on the dollar bill forever, I should have a nice clean signature,” he said.

Cursive writing is going the way of fountain pens and handwritten letters on personal stationery. Relics of a bygone era.

Probably not a bad thing.

My brother is in the hospital with a heart attack and my 11 y/o grandson sent him a get well card. He printed his name just like Barron did, and his signature looks just like that.

I find your comment offensive.
