[QUOTE="DDD, post: 616508, member: 35"] I'm still debating, lol. Should a Grandma say "you guys need to learn cursive NOT because it is necessary today BUT because it truly does happen that electronics and the Internet CAN be lost (for example, during hurricanes) and you want to strive to know multiple ways of communication"? I know this is an extreme example :) BUT if you were held captive and only had the chance to sent out a note...could you?? I often think of the kidnapped children. Yes, it may be weird. on the other hand the well educated little girl from Utah? who was the victim of an odd handyman? She was beyond Bright. Yes, she was victimized but could she have passed a note? The less educated girls who were held for a long time in Ohio...if they could have written a note would their captivity been shorter? I think communication is paramount. Math is different. English as a cursive method or block lettering as a communication method..they can be the difference between surviving or not! I want my offspring to be multi lingual but absolutely able to communicate in block or cursive writing in English. DDD [/QUOTE]
