[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can your kid and his teachers read his writing?

My 7th grader has tiny cursive. I have 51-year-old eyes and struggle with it. His teachers are fine with it though.[/quote]

I’m impressed your kid can write in cursive. My kids can’t even read it![/quote]

Some teachers have had my kid rewrite his work in printing because the other kids can't read cursive when they exchange papers to correct in class. I guess most schools don't even teach it anymore! He gets frustrated because cursive is very easy for him and printing is slow/hard.[/quote]

Cursive isn’t the problem.  Surely the adult teacher can read cursive.  They just can’t read your son’s.  If they can’t read it then he needs to chance how he writes.  Whether that be printing or larger/cleaner letters [/quote]

You'd be surprised! Especially the younger teachers...[/quote]

This has been so surprising to me that cursive isn't taught anymore. So kids won't be able to read the Declaration of Independence or other historical documents. And when these kids are adults and they're the teachers, will it just die out? Anyone know why cursive fell out of favor? I taught my kid at home and it quickly improved his ability to spell and write coherent sentences.[/quote]
