[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in an office with 20 and 30 year-olds from around the world (India, China, etc.) all with very different backgrounds. They all learned to write English in cursive. I was very embarrassed for one of our 28 year old managers who couldn't read notes from one of them and had to make a joke about it in a meeting. She was pegged as an American public school graduate who couldn't read something the rest of the room could. I think not knowing cursive limits you and is just ONE more thing being taken out of our schools while the rest of the world marches on. [/quote] I'm a bit baffled by people who can't [i]read[/i] any cursive (except for the goofy capital letters, which are just dumb in standard American classroom cursive. I don't know what cursive people learn in Indian or Chinese schools). But ok, schools can take a week or so, maybe in third or fourth grade, to go over reading American cursive. How about that?[/quote]
