[quote=Anonymous]For older child, one school (aap) did nothing but provide some worksheets. Pretty sure none of the kids actually could write in cursive by the time the year was over.

Then the pandemic happened, and we put in a lot of effort at home on cursive, which turned my formerly dysgraphic older child into a kid with handwriting that was basically fine.

Younger child at a different public went back to school post pandemic armed with beautiful cursive handwriting and was told she wasn't allowed to use it until the end of the year, when theoretically the other children would have caught up. In fairness, instruction was a bit more comprehensive, though once she fell off the wagon it was really hard to get her back on.

Anyhoo, deficiency in handwriting instruction is not the major reason they are now at a private that stresses the art, but I will not deny that this was one of the factors.

For what it's worth, i am in the tech industry and the only way I survive online meetings is by taking voluminous handwritten cursive notes.
