If its any comfort...many of us that homeschool insist that our children learn cursive...and not only learn it, but be able to write legibly.....my kids practice theirs every day...only when one reaches their senior year do I let up....
And while some would argue that teaching children to write in cursive is a waste of time, I sort of think that my kids could get a job being a scribe someday :lol: :lol: :lol:
I mean...who wouldn't want to be a scribe???? :D
