Appears to making a comeback but it looks like it's up to the individual state and/or school district. I would think keyboarding skills would be a requirement too?

"resurgence is driven by renewed interest in its cognitive benefits, such as improved language and memory skills, and the practical need for reading cursive to understand historical documents and personal communication. Common Core (2010) The Common Core standards didn’t include cursive in the recommended curriculum, and instruction on this form of penmanship largely waned.".

The Number of States That Require Schools to Teach Cursive Is Growing

Here are the states that require schools to teach cursive handwriting.

Covid threw a keyboard into it very early for my daughter. 1st grade.
ABC's no problem......qwerty.....holy crap was it a big wrench in the gears.

That is assault with a deadly weapon in my book. If the rider was shooting at people I could see it, otherwise they are just trying to inflict bodily damage.

A mate of mine got rammed off a quad years back in wales . He had no helmet on too . In the uk if you have no helmet they can’t ram

Man am I tired. Literally zero sleep. I sware, my daughter and husband are a bad influence on me lol. My ex wife watched the girls so was very fun.
I am no longer mad at Reno. We’re even. I fucking kicked that casinos ass! Over at GSR. We didn’t leave the resort. My problem was with the old Comstock that doesn’t even exist anymore. But i sware to god, when I got hauled away from there 30 yrs ago, in a paddy wagon with a roller skater that Terry from Reno 911 must have been based on, I swore I would never be back. Oh well. Btw I think that Nick Swardsons Terry character was cool AF.

Remember when EVERY school classroom had that big analog clock at the front of the room usually behind teacher's desk? The one you looked at every 3 minutes waiting, hoping, praying (whoops my bad) for the bell to ring?... What's next, they won't be able to write in cursive..oh wait a minute..
FWIW, I still have to have a analog wristwatch, and have analog clocks around the house. It justs computes faster with me if that makes sense. If I see a time digitally, my mind switches that image to analog, crazy, huh?

What is the reason that analog clocks are hard for kids?

Answer (1 of 6): Reading analog clocks, like reading cursive writing, is becoming a lost art. The primary reason is that digital clocks are what they see. As the saying goes, the three best ways to learn something is repetition, repetition, and repetition. When I taught in a middle school (grades...

I have one in my bedroom so when I wake up in a daze I can half eye peek at it instead of locating my phone. Also I can read cursive but if you asked me to write anything besides my name I don’t think I could.

I rent now but it looks like this happens so. I would have thought using title insurance and a reputable title company, agent when you purchase the property would/could prevent this but that must not be enough anymore

If I may as a parent who has a child in elementary school who has lived in like a billion different states
every classroom we have had the clock has been there .
and he's been taught cursive at every single school
that's 4 different school districts in several different states.

the media is down right fucking lying about school education and what it is not doing or taking away, and it genuinely is angering.

they also learn NUMEROUS skills we never did , they have a packed school schedule , so not only are these kids learning things that are absolutely not much around anymore, sorry but no one uses cursive except us guys, and digital clocks are the way of the world mostly, they are also learning everything else that's "new" on top of that, their math is considerably harder than ours was, their English etc. they have to learn pc skills, Spanish, cursive, etc.

they are expected to preform and do much more studying than we did at their age level.

We need to focus less on "scare tactic" head lines and see what elementary kids are expected to learn and actually do in todays world youd have a less angry expression about it

I have someone coming over to give me an estimate on fixing my sprinkler pipe. I guess it got cracked when the fence was being worked on and the sprinkler got covered with dirt, then stepped on. I don't remember if that is the last one on that line or not. If I got on the ground to fix it I'm not sure I could stand back up.

Just had a H/W heater replaced yesterday.
Now I have a "Plumber Dude" in there too.
