I have such adorable, creative,& stubborn children....share the frustration, the cuteness, the highly imaginative ramblings and the gritty reality of our day to day life, well...not all of it. I am,afterall, hoping to retain people's good opinion. : ) PS. Warning! If grammar and spelling errors bother you.....I expect most of this to be stream of conscience type writing-and my spelling could be described as creative, or occasionally hopeful.

hmmmmmm....they've got a point but if you write notes to yourself a lot, cursive sure will come in handy. And don't get me started on the whole curriculum thing we've got going on right now in our schools.
sry if this gets you started alanna =) but i guess i don't see the point in spending a lot of time on cursive (beyond simply teaching children how to do it and not forcing it)...maybe its just my experience with it considering i see a lot of messy doctors' handwritings that may be easier to read if they only printed!!! =) most things are typed these days anyway so it would be wise to use that time teaching kids computers and science...
on the same vein though, i do believe that one thing that could use more time spent on it is doing math without a calculator.
I would rather see people learn to spell "writing" correctly than see them defending cursive.
Even signatures don't legally require cursive, and never have required it! (Don't believe me on this one -- ask your lawyer! Anyone telling you that signatures require cursive for legal validity has misrepresented the law of the land.)
Another thing the idolators of cursive don't want you to know -- research shows that the fastest and clearest handwriters avoid cursive. Highest-speed, highest-legibility handwriters tend to join only some letters -- making the easiest joins, skipping the rest -- and to use print-like shapes of letters whose printed and cursive shapes "disagree."
LOL, I don't know if Kate Gladstone will return, but if she does, please see the blog description at the top-".....I expect most of this to be stream of conscience type writing-and my spelling could be described as creative, or occasionally hopeful." I have never claimed to be good at either spelling or handwriting.
