Because teachers are spending so much time brainwashing our kids to become social justice warriors, they no longer have time to teach both printing and cursive in school. They also can't teach the kids math. In about a minute, people will begin to wonder WHY we are dumping all that money into our public schools.
@SW-User Even home schooling is controlled by the materials the teachers unions SAY are a requirement. Because they have been working so hard to eff up public education and create a permanent ignorant lower class. They use the playbook of the educator communist Howard Zinn, who re wrote public education.

@4meAndyou Home schooling is not the same as just having a child school at home. Home schooling leaves it all to the parents. We need to make sure the children learn the basics but we don't have to stop at that or teach what we feel is wrong for our children. No teachers unions involved in my homeschooling.
Cursive lets you see the personality. Also all important old documents were written in cursive and knowledge gets fast forgotten if you cannot even decipher the books.
I've been using cursive (also known as "joined-up writing") since I was about seven. But if people choose to print that's up to them. The point is to communicate clearly. My husband is dyslexic and often feels more comfortable printing.
@SW-User But I don't know that even if I didn't learn cursive i'd still probably know how to read it. I actually had a friend that said he couldn't read things in cursive. The Carvers fast-food restaurant's sign is in cursive and he couldn't read it.

@Lostpoet You upvoted my comment with cursive. You know what it says?
@SW-User Heart is a very good fertilizer; anything we plant - love, hate, fear, hope, revenge, jealousy - surely grows and bear fruit. We have to decide what to harvest.
I don't understand how someone can't read cursive the letters still look very close to their Arabic style.
@Lostpoet Yes. It's not mine but people say mine is pretty nice too.

@Virgo79 I don't expect everyone will have perfect penmanship, but still believe people will lose something important if they can't read or write cursive. A lot of our country's documents are in cursive.
