[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of you all use cursive in your everyday life? I'm in my 30s and cannot remember the last time I had to write something in cursive aside from my signature on a receipt. I was in MCPS ES 20+ years ago and they made us write in cursive because "all your middle and high school teachers will expect this and you'll need it later in life." No, they didn't, and no, I didn't. MCPS has a lot of problems but I don't see this as one of them.[/quote] I do -- it's not perfect 'cursive' -- kind of a hybrid --but it's so much faster to use cursive than to print. I take notes all the time at work, etc. in cursive (but without the fancy upper case letters etc). It's just so much easier. My kid isn't in MoCo, but at a DC charter. Has significant fine motor issues. Cursive is SO MUCH easier -- is doing it in OT. All the letters connected -- less up/down. anyway FYI. [/quote]
