Maine is no longer required to teach cursive writing in
school.
My wife is left handed and has a beautiful cursive hand
writing; mine legible but not so great.
When I read something she has written it seems valuable just because of
the beauty of her script.
There is a value in writing that shouldn’t be merely about
communication. We are losing many things
of value now in our rushed age of technology.

They should never have eliminated the Palmer method. Those exercises refined fine motor control like nothing else they have the little barracudas do now.

ReplyDeleteI love seeing beautiful cursive handwriting too. It is definitely a lost art these days.

ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame that all those wonderful little things we learned in school are disappearing. It's part of the dumbing down of the world.
