The other can't write or draw, and doesnt want to learn cursive.

I learned cursive but wouldn't make effort to make it legible.

I haven't met a single person in the last 30 years who makes an effort to make cursive legible.

One of mine was in third grade during Covid. That’s the year they teach cursive so she should have been doing at home. She did a little but not enough to matter. I hated writing in cursive and never used it after elementary school.

And that's why you now live in a van down by the river.

Parochial schools are notorious for not teaching math. I would rather my children learn math in school and cursive at home.

Ours has multiple math tracks, and their middle track (i.e., the average students) is about 1 year ahead of the local public schools, but thank you for playing. It also is academically rigorous in other subjects.

Yes, but they don't so get some workbooks and do it yourself.

OMG, pp -- thank you. For some reason this gave me the biggest laugh I've had in a while.
