[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cursive has gone the way of calligraphy and provides no value.  Proper typing classes would be a much better use of the kids' time.  Almost anything provides more value than cursive in 2026.[/quote]

The fine motor skill development associated with learning cursive is an important part of overall development.

Time far better spent that learning about gender identity or the progressive issue of the day.  [/quote]

I like when people make up stuff about schools to do their whole "old man yells at cloud" act.

I have a FCPS kid who decided to learn cursive all on his own (I got him a book and showed him some of the trickier letters) and had some fun with it, but it does take some regular practice.  My kid integrates it into his regular art projects/drawings (a lot of which he does at SACC).

I think it's a bit of a parlor trick, to be honest.  I've used it to decorate some posters and do fancy invitations. My husband says he's never used it.

Definitely not worth the hours we spent drilling it.  If my kid wasn't self interested, I wouldn't have bothered.
