    “Non-cursive writing” is called printing. I thought everyone knew that. When a document asks for your name and says PLEASE PRINT, what do you think that means?

    Really sad … I was child in my 1970s they took the time to teach us but teachers don’t have the time with our new generation of kids , of course it’s the school board and let’s not talk about teaching them the times tables … which is the foundation of math … it’s crazy .. teachers wants you rush your work too… no time to let it sink in to really understand it … I respect teachers but it’s gotten where it’s about the scores and testing numbers for students… good luck teachers it’s not an easy job …

Language is a constantly evolving thing.

Thats why we transcribe things constantly into the modern standard and leaves the dead languages to scholars. Stop holding the human race back in the past.
