I'm now wondering if the requirement of the cursive signature is going by the wayside too.Mamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702758010419552137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105095063776035442.post-65624881824653494832008-06-16T17:32:00.000-04:002008-06-16T17:32:00.000-04:00Mamie, we homeschool, so it's hardly the "norm" he...Mamie, we homeschool, so it's hardly the "norm" here, but I have a son who could care less about writing or reading cursive, or learning the "keyboard" to type faster. He has developed his own typing style and can type faster than I can.
