| Subject: Statist edumbcation: Is Cursive Dead? Thu May 02, 2013 10:23 pm | |
| The new Common Core State Standards, a set of national benchmarks for American public schools, do not require students to learn cursive. As a result, states and districts are grappling with whether to teach this skill.
Last week, North Carolina passed a bill making cursive part of the school curriculum. Is this a step backward, a smart decision or something else altogether?
