IMO, the principal has his head where the sun don`t shine. However, very very few people are actually qualified to teach cursive writing. It isn`t just a matter of connecting the letters. There`s a 30 degree slant (lower left to upper right) and specific WAYS to form the letters. I would hazard that fewer than 5% of the Mudcat population know how to cursive write worth a shit, no offence.


I worked years ago for a principal who taught cursive writing. He incorporated poetry and songs, and when the kids got to as good as they`d get for that year they did beautifully written cards of thanks to family members. Wasye of time--I think not.
