I do not mind if a kid does not have very good penmanship but they should be at least able to read cursive writing. One of my Grand kids has not been taught cursive in school. She could not hand out the Christmas gifts because she could not read the name tags.
Also the real danger/issue with not knowing how to read cursive is that most of the founding documents of this great nation where written in cursive. So if we raise a bunch of illiterate students that can not read those important documents do you really think they will under stand them???
So I guess I am old school. I write my load lists in cursive. So I guess if the driver can not read them he will just get fired.
Side bar to Dan the teacher below. Modern schools have the time to show my kids/grand kids how to use a condom but not to read/write cursive. Which is worse for our society???
So they can't read cursive but they can put a condom on and then take a picture of it an then they can post on their face book page with their fancy computer.
I know of two different human resource people that give cursive reading tests to applicants. Any that can't read/write cursive are passed by. Those companies both are heavy into computers. They both say that if the person does not know cursive they more than likely don't know a bunch of other needed job skills. So the cursive test just helps them thin the list down.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony.
