[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Honestly, I think this is because many, not all, of our teachers are not the best and the brightest. Education majors often attract the lowest performing college students and the course work often spends too much time on fuzzy educational theory instead of affording education majors expertise in content areas such as reading and math and science. [/quote] So, you think they should be taking classes in handwriting? Hate to tell you, but reading is something that I hope they can do before they go to college.[/quote] It is not rocket science to teach kids cursive and takes about 20 minutes a day give or take depending upon child's age. I taught my kid cursive by reading the instructor's manual. However, many teachers are not well versed in teaching phonics ans syllabication to students. Many students have suffered from educational neglect with the whole reading debacle and the lack of solid instruction in how to read.[/quote]
