I have been walking around my neighborhood in the mornings and have had a few interactions with the kids waiting for the bus. I ask them "Do they teach cursive writing in school?" To a person they say the same thing, the third grade teaches you how to trace cursive letters and then have you practice. After the third grade the kids are no longer taught how to write in cursive or even use penmanship. I asked the local School Superintendent whether or not the school system teaches and used cursive. He said emphatically, "YES, we do teach cursive through all grades". I then thought, yea, what a lame answer. He lied to my face and didn't even blink an eye. Lots and lots of tax payers are tired of this guy yet nothing can be done to remove him. The fight continues, though.
