[quote=Anonymous]Dh and I are in STEM fields and lean toward STEM. My ds learned cursive in school and works on cursive and printing with an OT. She also has him practice reading cursive. In our case, my ds has a fine motor problem and it wasn't caught until 3rd grade. He learned cursive with great handwriting but his printing is still a bit messy sometimes. There are teachers in our middle schools and high schools that still write in cursive on the board. Some kids don't speak up when they can't read what is written on the board! So odd but I have heard of kids who say that for two years they had teacher XYZ and they couldn't read anything the teacher wrote on the board. I don't think doing away with cursive in school is a good thing or is progressive. FWIW, my ds is 10 and is a touch typer too. It is possible to learn it all. [/quote]
