Back in my native country Brazil we had cursive since day ONE and along my schools years the teachers always demanded us to have a good handwriting or we would have our grades reduced. Now I see the American education system calling handwriting obsolete and archaic also they say it's too difficult for kids to understand. It is mind boggling such BS excuse. If kids in a third world country in falling apart schools can why kids in the richest county in the world cannot? Are American kids dumber? I refuse to accept this and yes my kids are going to learn cursive.

Are American kids dumber?
as an american, I think they are now
By design. Just look at Randi Weingarten holding the Ukrainian flag upside down at the teacher's union meeting.
