I will admit to not trusting many people and NEVER trusting any form of government. I have often wondered if the suspension of teaching cursive writing is part of a larger plan to change the history taught to the youth of today and tomorrow???? Why have I though this?? Well all of the founding documents, Declaration of Independence, Constitution, etc., are all written in cursive writing. Turning cursive writing into something that few know how to read or write is not good in my opinion.
I will add in that teaching cursive writing and manual math skills takes time an effort. The teachers and teaching systems today are just plain lazy!!! We are seeing the result of 50 years of the poor at any subject become teachers while the GOOD of these same subjects go on to "real world" jobs. Also the Unionization of the teaching field has made it to where almost no teacher can be fired for being incompetent. Our kids are being taught by people with many fewer skills than those that taught us fifty years ago. I know this will insult some teachers out there but I was on the school board for many years and I got to see the results over an entire district. The schools are not getting the best and brightest as teachers anymore. The current crop of teachers can tell you the most basic clauses of their contract but may not be that up to date on their teaching skills.
My Grand kids are taught cursive writing and manual math skills at HOME. They are doing well in school. I think that too many parents are lazy too. Two income homes maybe the "norm" but it has not improved the quality of the home life. We are doing a much poor job of preparing the next generation than was done in the past. No day care is as good as the average Mother from the past.
I will quit now. This post should have stirred up enough people for my work at being a grumpy old fart is done for today!!! LOL

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
