I had my conference with my youngest sons teacher last night and while we were talking I asked if she was going to be teaching him cursive writing and she told me she is but that it is not a requirement in school anymore. I never knew that...honestly I remember hours upon hours of learning cursive writing. Now they normally do not teach it at all? Is this true in other states? Her reasoning was that they spend so much time on standardized test preparation they do not have time to spend on things like teaching children to learn cursive handwriting. (one more reason I hate standardized testing) She gave me a good website to help my son learn and I have to order a book from the site before we can start.
