you are in my generation, and I'm glad you learned too. :D
I'm wondering where the cutoff was, when they stopped teaching it, do you know definitively ?
also, hi ! how are you?
Discussion
I was educated on an another language with very few exceptions in elementary school. Spelling was not even a skill as it is very normal; you hear it and write it. So cursive writing wasn't a luxury.
But now my 8-year old is going through 2nd grade in US. I can tell you that teachers in English language have a lot burden to deal with before cursive. We stopped questioning why a word is read that way.
Kids are not left with enough buffer especially these days with all these distractions from screen time.
doing good, thank you for asking. Adjusting to #nostr. Very good people and conversations here. How about you?
Writing, calligraphy used to be valued... Everything is square letters over screens now, from school... Sad
i agree that kids have a "lot" to deal with, in our modern world. its a real big mess. they are left wondering SO many things....
etymology is not taught, and its important, as much as knowing why the word is fit in context with other words. its a great aspect of critical thinking, vs making barely passable robots that are literate but not actually literate....
screen time... ugh.. if i had kids of my own, there would be no screen time, and my kids would probably resent it, until they understood why i was doing that.
yes, the people here are pretty cool, and im glad to hear you're also enjoying it. :)
im waking up slowly on the west coast of america, lol. :)
