Best way to respond

[Anonymous]

What is the best way to respond a parent that wrote a note in Cursive ? Best way to respond without sounding rude that is hard to read to cursive and to print it next time or send an email?

Is this for real?

Do not do this. Learn to read cursive — it’s a life skill. Ask your mom.

You must be a very young Gen-Z teacher. I'm sorry you didn't learn how to write or read cursive.

Troll?

Ask a colleague to help you read it. If for some reason the cursive is that bad, it can't be read, call the parent and talk over the phone.

I know! It's like they're from some bygone era. Nobody uses this stuff today. They should learn to type.

Nobody does anymore. It's not a useful skill this century.

Troll.

Or at least I hope so.

Are you a teacher?

It's a VERY POOR LOOK to not be able to read cursive. I don't care if you come back and explain that you have a disability. If you are a teacher and unable to read cursive, I will not respect you.

My kids, 18 and 13, have always written in cursive in MCPS, on the board or in their notebooks. They have always received compliments, except for one teacher who took my daughter to task because she was using French cursive and not English cursive, and the capital B was very slightly different. But she could read it!!!

We all agree it's a dying art. But your profession holds you to particular standards regarding reading and writing! If you were a computer programmer, and couldn't read cursive, I'd be more understanding.

Most other countries write in cursive still. Cursive was taught in schools in the last 20 years. It's not some ancient thing.

I think the best way to respond is to educate yourself on how to read cursive.

My 5 year old can read my cursive writing.

Show the note to a 5 year old and have them read it for you.

I am not from here. I learned how to read and write cursive in ink pen & pencil at public elementary school. It was a graded class.
