#if they keep on like this then soon USA k-12 diplomas will be about as useful as a Hogwarts degree in the muggle world

USAmerican schools getting rid of cursive got me feeling like some kind of way fam. I mean, if you don’t wanna teach kids to write it, that’s fine. But they should be able to read it or else you’re cutting them off from being able to read birthday cards from older relatives, plus all the wonderful hand written old primary sources from people in the past that have been scanned and uploaded online. Like being able to read cursive writing means being able to make connections with generations past through their writings. Maybe it’s not the most important thing schools could teach kids, but it’s definitely more important than spending time drilling them to pass yet another standardized test that doesn’t really teach them anything.
