[QUOTE="1905, post: 616277, member: 2668"] Teachers are told every single thing to teach, it's not their decision. The reading programs in our district do not include any cursive. But we do an hour and half of math. Wouldn't you rather have your child learning all that math every day? We care more about the content of the writing. We spend all our time writing doing RACE- restate the question, answer it, cite examples and explain or relate it to your own life in some way. (Even if they have to make it up) Also, the kids write, and organize, and re-write. The work becomes great in the re-write. Anyway, that is what we do in writing. I just mean, it's not the teachers fault. There are better things to do with our time. In this age of computers, the kids don't really need to print nicely either. One of our kids has such sloppy writing , we let him do it all on the computer. When we were younger, we wrote our assignments out. My college kids don't ever use paper, everything is on the computer and submitted electronically. [/QUOTE]
