John M You just said the KEY word in that your youngest is 14. They just started this in the last few years. Some schools are still teaching writing but many are not. The local school here still does but not very much and not like it used to be.
The one worry I have is the majority of the founding documents are all written with cursive writing. So IF we quit teaching it to the regular old average American will they still be able to actually KNOW what those founding documents really say???? Will they need an Government approved interpreter???? I try to not be paranoid about the "tin foil hat" type of thing but as I have gotten older I am less trusting on my government.
As for using cursive writing. I still do but really I find you do not write as much anymore. I do type a lots on a computer but not much writing.
PS. Side note. One of the most valuable things I have is the beautifully hand written letters my first wife sent me when we where first married. With the second being her daily activity diary. I still re-read those letter every now and then. I actually made copies and the originals are in my safety deposit box.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
