[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 617242, member: 2196"] I only write in cursive. My printing totally sucks. It looks like a five year old's writing, but my handwriting is beautiful. I am always getting compliments on it. My students, however, have a very difficult time reading and filing away my notes. They are constantly coming up to me and asking what a certain name is. I had no idea they stopped teaching cursive years ago. Now it makes sense why the students and even my own kids can't read any of my notes! To apply for a job in the school district, it is still required to fill out a hand written application, and hand write a two paragraph essay. You are graded on spelling, punctuation, and grammar. There is also a math test, and calculators are not allowed. Only the top three scores get in for an interview. The rest of the applications are discarded. Thank goodness school was always really easy for me, and I aced the tests to get in to my current job position. There are still some careers that actually do require basic adacemic skills to get you hired. My job is one of them. [/QUOTE]
