All righty, we're back. Okay, it
seems like a lost art doesn't
it? Cursive writing. Well now
students in California will have
it back in their curriculum
starting this fall under a new
law, it will be required for
students in first through sixth
grades. Cursive writing was
discontinued at most schools in
2010. In California and 39 other
states, not to mention teachers
say. The cursive writing,
though, helps with fine motor
skills and it allows the ability
to be able to read older
documents and writing. That's
true. And in case you're
wondering, Texas brought back
cursive for all elementary
students in 2019. In the 2019
2020 school year, which I think
is awesome, it was also the
pandemic year. So I'm trying to
think back because my kids over
zoom, they were learning how to.
Well, yeah, my daughter was in
third. My oldest was in third
grade at the time, and I think
the pandemic hit like right as
the cursive unit was supposed to
begin. Yeah. So they kind of
missed out. They do love showing
me how they can write in
cursive. They're like, are they
good? Look at my name. I mean,
it's not it's not like totally
accurate. I'm like, well, that's
or, you know, but they do enjoy
it. It's reading it that's
harder. And like that's a good
point. You got to you got to
know how to read cursive
eventually. Well I think I think
kids are too used to like the
shortened language of texting.
Yes. And they need to learn to
write things out and how to
write a nice note and have it be
legible. Do you still write in
cursive? I do, yes. Yeah. I'm
like half print, half cursive.
Yeah. I still have like I have a
calendar that I write everything
