No more cursive writting:

I think that they are doing this because it really isn't that important to be able able to write in cursive. They should spend more time teaching the students the current way to write instead of teaching them different styles. They have realized that they need to educate them about how to write well to get good jobs and things. You really aren't going to need to use cursive writing in a job. So it really it isnt that important. Normal print is just as fine as cursive. The old method of writing is now being replaced with the modern version.
