Ok, so I have a degree in teaching english and esl. I was taught to teach all sorts of skills. Now, I read in newspaper based out of Denver, that apparently handwriting skills, espcially Cursive, are no longer really being taught.
Reasoning being, that typing and computer skills are more important, since people rarely write by hand now anyways. One of my relatives actually endorses this viewpoint and believes handwriting is going the way of Latin, and will one day be learned by people because it's "quaint and ancient, out-of-style".
Idk about anyone else, but I write by hand several times a day. Cursive too. Shit like this makes me want to homeschool even more. Don't get me wrong, I believe typing and computer skills are VERY important, but handwriting is too!
