But the letters and stories that they wrote - all by hand and mostly in cursive - are what gives us insight to their personalities. They are a treasure. And it would be so very sad if generations to come couldn't even read them.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-11527918583110129282014-02-10T17:34:55.069-06:002014-02-10T17:34:55.069-06:00These letters are precious.

DD is teaching them "everything" so that they will have a very broad understanding of whatever may come up in our world.

And if I write in longhand, using pen and paper, nobody but me can see it unless I show it to them. Not so with our computers these days.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-25521193460331600602014-02-08T13:26:16.699-06:002014-02-08T13:26:16.699-06:00Rob...I'm not sure about education in Minnesot...Rob...I'm not sure about education in Minnesota - I need to ask my kids about it. But I have read that in other states, cursive writing is or has been phased out. I guess I hate to see kids not being able to learn a skill that could be useful. Computers crash. Pens and paper don't.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-41398938706793452392014-02-08T13:24:46.721-06:002014-02-08T13:24:46.721-06:00Any teacher that supports removing the teaching of...Any teacher that supports removing the teaching of cursive is not really a teacher. <br /><br />Teaching requires improving knowledge. Removing access to a treasure trove of information - including the original text of the Constitution - is reprehensible. Anticipating a good result from such things is lunacy.
