[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do know that in many districts teachers are told exactly what and how to teach and have zero autonomy to make these kinds of decisions on their own, right?[/quote] Teacher here - thank you for adding this. There is also administration telling you to prioritize math and reading; and since cursive is so time-consuming, it falls through the cracks.[/quote] PS teacher here (high school) My daughter was in a Catholic ES for a few years where she learned cursive. Her handwriting is beautiful. My son, who began in and continued with public, was taught cursive by his OT. He had fine motor issues, and cursive was a lifesaver. He used to cry each time he was asked to write. no longer the case! Yes, we paid - and quite a bit! But I can't put a price on my children's well-being.[/quote]
