No More Writing? No More Teachers?

A recent local newspaper article emphasized that
cursive handwriting was soon to be eliminated
from elementary education. After learning to
print the alphabet it appears students now only
use the computer to complete all school assignments.
I am amazed to find out that ALL school districts
and underfunded inner city schools rely on computers
for every child.

In my current job I have noticed the total decline in
the ability for most people to spell everyday words.
I attribute that to 'texting'. Now we will dumb down
even further to not teaching cursive handwriting.

Long lost will be the days when your friend would
handwrite you a note from your parents so you
could skip school. Why will you need to even attend
school?
