Tell the left wingers they will get something free (I.e. At taxpayer expense) for using cursive and there will soon be laws mandating its use and being taught.

I never understood why cursive was so unpopular.
I use it exclusively (my "printing" is just cursive letters not connected).
I suppose the learning curve was annoying but I learned it in school.
Both cursive and printing get letters on the page, but cursive is faster and looks nicer.
A disadvantage is legibility so I can understand the usage of printing in many situations but for note taking and that kind of stuff cursive is fine.
My Daughters 6th grade teacher told her class that there is no need for it any more because of the computer....... Sad to say the least

Someone famous once said "War is too important to leave in the hands of the generals." (I forget who). I have been saying for years that "Education is too important to leave in the hands of educators." Yet, that is what we have done - we've left education in the hands of educators and politicians and the result is not pretty. For almost 50 years I have been seeing the same solutions (raise teachers pay and reduce class size) attempted to fix problems in the education system - and they never works. The reason they don't work is that they don't address the real problem. The real problem with our system is not teachers pay or class size so reducing class size and increasing teachers pay is not going to fix the problem. The real problem in my opinion is that we do not give our kids a sound foundation we present them with subject matter ten miles wide and an inch deep. I think that's why we need to send them to 4 years of college (going on 6) to have an education as acceptable in the workplace as high school was 50 years ago.But...we as parents and grand-parents hava allowed this to happen. We are ultimatly responsible for the the kids not knowing how to do math in their heads and to write in cursive. Parents need to be more attentive as to what their children are learnng in school and not learning. There are those teachers and especially professors teaching in some of our highest institutions that have their own agendas. And a lot of times it aint no good.
Here we go again. Do a search for cursive. It got pretty ugly.
Yep Egypt has not been a world power since.....and that was probably a few thousand years ago.....:biggrin: Sanskrit, on the other hand is still in use in parts of India and is the official language of Uttarakhand in Northern India.:biggrin::biggrin:And of course India is one of the rising stars of the world.It all went to hell when they stopped teaching Sandscrit and Hieroglyphics.
