I agree, but unfortunately, Federal standards do exist for now. Until states get the control back for education, we change federal policy.
I read the act of learning how to write in cursive helps a person to become emotionally aware.
The slow and methodical and time for it is what missing in childhood and schools these days.
I am for learning from experience and life at home with family first.
Letās make our communities and states more hospitable to family life.
I am for powers being returned to the states.

Just eliminate Common Core and Dept of Education. Then your district can decide
Its not so much about writing but reading it. ALL original documents are written in cursive
We invented the typewriter to get away from cursive, which could often be difficult to decipher unlike block print and was difficult for many people to master, unlike block print. The decisive need for cursive was the speed with which one could write. In the age of typewriters and computers, teaching cursive is akin to strapping 50 logs to our early age readers who are struggling currently and then asking them to run up a hill while learning to write. 99% of the text written today is in block print.
There is no practical or utilitarian reason to bring back cursive.
Common core is a total failure. Classical education was the model used until the 20th century, and the way most of the greatest minds in history were educated. Cursive is part of classical education. Classical should replace common core, but this should be done at the state level.
