Cursive
I attended private and public schools growing up. I think your handwriting tells alot about you, in fact Professional Handwriting Analysis is still used in many Federal court cases. My real problem with not teaching children cursive is the loss for those kids who really love it..I LOVE recving a hand written note or letter.
I write monthly "Here's What's Going On" letters to family and friends. With things being the way they are, having so many demands for our time, kids activities, working and going to school, caring for a ill family member, or even the gym. Yes you can scribble anything on a charge card recpt. they seldom check to see if you signed your name. I tried it myself before i decided to get rid of all charge cards. My Bank card is credit as well. All I can say is I see things changing so quickly, our children need the basics at least an I think cursive is a basic. Printing is no easier understood when done by a person who really just wants to complete something. Maybe it's my age, but
learning cursive was almost like art for me.. every manuscript I have written has been by hand. I do collect Fountain Pens. laughing and I would never think of sending a card to someone without a personal note in cursive, letting them know how much they mean to me. Ok again, maybe that's just me..laughing...Midnight..Peace to all.♥♥♥
