Handwriting - is it still a required skill?

@Vivaci The motoric skills are being neglected here, people are many times being too utilitarian

@sumojumo yeah, it's terrible man...I still remember the day when my primary school kid said that he won't need to practice cursive writing as it's not required in school anymore!! 😵

@Vivaci Oh yes, I deal with such fights every day - nobody wants to do the basic stuff anymore. I also view a lack of respect for basic skills - maybe it is because I am getting old :)-

@sumojumo I think parents need to stress on the fact that cursive writing should be taught to kids regardless of whether they're typing or not.
I personally don't like a lot if changes to our education system...having no uniforms for one.

@Vivaci I am starting to like the ideas of uniforms. The kids would become much more focused if they would not bother with which T-shirt someone is wearing. And especially for the kids from poorer families that would be fantastic. The clothes can be such a stigma for kids.

@sumojumo exactly. It instills a sense of discipline in kids. And they focus on studies rather than fashion n looks.

@Vivaci now... we just need to convince the kids of this ;)

@sumojumo I have made sure my kid joined as Junior cadet so that ways he learns it indirectly. 😊
