I hate to hear that! It was bad enough when they stopped teaching cursive!
I am assuming they are relying so much on the computer that spelling won't be necessary as they spell check on all computers will do that for them as well as eliminate the need for cursive.
My question being - how are they going to be able to read all the wonderful things we, our parents, grandparents and earlier generations wrote in diaries, books and notes that were done in cursive?
I love reading my grandmother's diaries.
