It makes no sense, you cannot be adept at science unless you are highly literate, learning cursive helps improve literacy; verbal, reading, and writing) proficiency. That is scientific fact. How can one be so proSTEM and anti-science at the same time??[/quote]

Could you post some links to some of this research that learning cursive, specifically, helps improve literacy and verbal proficiency? Not handwriting in general - specifically cursive. For children without particular special needs.[/quote]

Yes, please because all I have is anecdata that shows the opposite: two highly literate kids who can't write English cursive.[/quote]

How well will they do on an AP exam which requires responding to complex, timed questions?  Being able to read is one thing. Quickly responding in writing  to Qs about complex texts is another.

How well will they do?????[/quote]

They are doing great on their AP exams, thanks.[/quote]

I'm sure they are, considering the exams are given in May.  the grades of your brilliant cherubs?  sophomores?  juniors? seniors? the exams TAKEN?  the scores?

Do share!
