I'm not sure any kind of handwriting is taught these days. I think every child should be taught to write legibly and in a decent script. What if the computer breaks down? |

It's been a huge journey. Unfortunately, yes, handwriting is dying out. We've dug this grave for ourselves. Technology has taken over. All you need to be able to do these days is sign your name. No worries about it being pretty cursive. Or even neat printing. It's sad, but some things like reading, writing and arithmatic are just fading away... Jill |
