I see in the news where some elementary schools have decided they don't have the resources to teach the students how to read and write in cursive. I know at least one of you is saying 'what's that?' It's the other kind of writing from printing, sometimes called longhand.

That principal of a school in Colorado says: "Cursive is not addressed as a basic literacy outcome in the Colorado Basic Literacy Act. There is a finite amount of time that our teachers have in the classroom, and it is deciding on what are the most important thing (sic) that we can instruct those students during that time."

Now, here is a fine example of bureaucratic double-speak from that same school principal: "I definitely trust in what our country does, what our teachers do, and know that our students are going to come out prepared for whatever choices they choose to make in the world."

Trust is a beautiful thing.

Are they all going to print their own signature for the rest of their lives? Or maybe just learn the letters they need for their name.
