I went to the local school's Superintendent to ask if we could bring back cursive writing to our youth. He said NO. What a putz. All he cared about was going by the normal education protocol for this state, instead of what taxpayers are interested in. I dont have a kid in the district, but as a tax payer I figured I'd toss my two cents into the ring. I am still frustrated at this dude since two years later he is still in charge of the schools. How do you get rid of a school's administration?
You have to go to the school board and get their attention. It will take a lot of effort to get the school board to change the administration leadership. Your better option would be to get parents on board with your idea by showing them the data that kids retain information better by writing it down and that printing everything interferes with the learning process.
