I agree. They are more awake than most think. The problem is that they have no context to our world. They grew up with things and took things for granted that we did not have. This is a good thing as we will be the baseline moving forward. When you boil it down to conciseness and spirituality, they are closer to us than you would think. My issue is that I have to peel the layers of disinfo from them to get there, but it is there and when I connect it almost feels priceless. Then I remember this is an information war... Strange times, indeed.
My wife teaches high school. The kids can't read or write cursive. She has made it a point to teach them. She says, "If you can't read cursive, how can you read the Constitution?", "How can you have your own signature?". She has a set of cursive lettering that goes up above the chalkboard from her elementary school teaching days because her kids all want to learn it.
I’m sure they had this in mind when they stopped teaching cursive. Also in NC a child can’t be held back more than twice. I’ll have my first grandchild soon. I’ve already said my grandkids will know how to write cursive. I feel like their parents would teach them but just in case they don’t I’ll teach them.
They still hold kids back in NC? Most places won't do it at all. Where I am, they will never do it, even if the parents beg for it. That's actually the one and only thing the school board won't bend for the parents.
It would almost be worth going to a city and filming all the people walking around holding their phones up high trying to get a signal. But no - I'll stay away.
I hope we do for old times sake and to wake up the under 30yo crowd. They need a fucking wake up.

How stupid do you have to be to not be able to read cursive? It's just loopy print
