Man for over 20 years my mom wrote all my birthday cards in cursive knowing I couldnt read it being that I hadn't used it since 2nd grade. I used to eyeball her so hard everytime while making her read the message she wrote.
Shaving cream math was probably to keep kids engaged with what theyre learning. The best way to teach a person (and especially kids) is to get them interested in the topic in some way and THEN teach. The dirty rag turns it into a harmless competition which encourages participation and puts things like confusion or fear at the back of their minds. I was an education major and these things sound like engagement techniques.
you just unlocked a core memory of my elementary school talking about shaving cream match because it's easier to use your finger than a pencil on paper and it actually worked and it made people more involved & engaged, that's insane i forgot about that and not the colorful plastic bears on scales
also learned cursive in 3rd grade and was the last class in my district to learn it. loved my teacher for it, i made the choice to only use cursive basically from 3rd-5th and even on the standardized tests.... I love how cutesy the letters are that you can make :D
Adding to the comments made around 23:24 ; Spain is indeed a Team! They're Team Ataraxia, they have, if I'm not mistaken 2 or 3 members who are Spanish but grew up in a different country. Helv and I think Khenail are the ones with more experience! As they've participated in Overwatch Contenders before. The rest of the team are practically new to this kind of professional setting. Hira and Galaa are said to be the most promising and often talked about, Galaa actually being super young, although I'm unsure of his age exactly. Thanks everyone for supporting Spain !! They're one of the teams that will be representing the hispanic community on Blizzcon later on so I hope we all can keep cheering on our favourite teams without fighting over it ! 🇪🇦
Ataraxia is pretty new team, it was created just a few months (in March, I think?). The five players were in the Spain qualifier tourment as AI (Andres Iniesta) team. According with liquipedia, they win all maps they played in that tourment. They seem to have work like crazy preparing the world cup. Can't wait to see what they will be able to do when they get the experience! They have a few interviews, quite interesting, with Toniki (spanish) and mL7 (english) after the world cup matches
@@admartinez9854 Yeah! I started following Ataraxia after Toniki announced that he became their Social Manager, but I don't really follow their games outside of what Toni uploads 👉👈
The 90s were crazy. We had cursive writing, morning pledge of allegiance, and the D.A.R.E program. Looking back it just seemed more like government programming.
love the cursive convo and discussion (^_^) [note this is coming from a Canadian school] At my school we started learning in 3rd grad and once you learned it you had to use it for the rest of the year. When we did spelling tests though, if you were worried the teacher wouldn't be able to read it, you could print it out. This continued on from 3rd-5th grade. Then in middle school no one gave an f. Yet randomly in 7th grade they tried teaching it because the other elementary school (mine was like school B and theirs was School A) never properly taught it O v O TBH I still tend to use it to write fast and it'd be useful if I didn't want ppl reading over my shoulder/ stealing my answers lol Helped with uni exam essays too.
2:00 I was saying cursive was dead in the late 80s, early 90s. Was a pita to write way back when. Schools in the UK had a massive hard on for making us write in it. I mean I barely write anything these days as it is. I used to have good handwriting, but it's scrawl now 😂
The cursive rant is too relatable. We specifically had to 'learn' cursive in second grade, yet immediately never had to write or learn it again from fourth grade and beyond.
RE: Cursive - I also was forced to learn that shit and we were told "Oh you HAVE to learn it because everyone will use it! Especially in High School!" And then I never used it past 7th grade...
@@DarukaEon The funniest part to me is ill see peoples signatures now and they still aren't in cursive. Its either really illegible or just looks like slightly fancy writing lol.
in 6th grade my English teacher's main lesson would be about Latin words and prefix/suffixes she was always biased towards the girls in the class and treated the boys like shit. On of the prefixes she taught us was Mal- which means bad. Coincidentally, her name also started with an Mal, so I created a rumor that she was the devil, after words got out, she screamed at the class saying that we're so disrespectful.
Oh man, I get that, I was taught cursive starting in 3rd, and it wasn't even school, but my mom started on it, and especially when I got in 7th grade and started being homeschooled, I COULDN'T WRITE ANYTHING BUT CURSIVE, and it went on for so long that I can't really look at my print right anymore. i can still write it, but my print visibly irks me to read, bc I was taught to make it all look nice, and got used to it till I can't stand my writing if it doesn't look nice and it bothers me.
I remember the shaving cream math. We usually did it towards the end of the year when we were cleaning out our desks as a way to keep us entertained while also cleaning the surface lol.
There has to be overwatch mobile. There is no way they haven't been working on something for this long to just drop the PVE. PVE was dropped for mobile development.
Okay that Cursive rant I am all here for. It would DESTROY my hand and I still know how to kinda write it and all I use it is for signatures It honestly shocked me when I transferred school/move cities over. And I mentioned cursive and NO ONE KNEW HOW TO WRITE IT EXCEPT ME
About the cursive,my school taught us in Kinder garden so the only letters we knew were cursive. Like no normal A,B ,C just cursive.Cause of that even when I try so hard NOT to write cursive I just have to write it cause I Iearnt letters that way.
I think we were taugh cursive in 2º grade and was one year deal. The rest of elementary our teachers just gave us the ability to choose. But I stick to cursive even to this day. For me is like drawing and it has certain elegance to it (even if my caligraphy isn't the prettiest). I'm so use to write in cursive that swiching to print makes me write slower. Not because I dont know how to draw the letters but it tripled the pause moments because I have to lift the pen everytime I finish a letter to go to the next.
Funniest cursave story I almost failed my 3rd grade class because I never did a big ass packet of the alphabet in cursave and the literal next year they got rid of cursave in every elementary in Texas. Around 2011
I mean theres something deeply worrying about the american school system --cursive is just the default in the UK and I don't know a single person who ever had an issue or complained about it
My school was the same with cursive and now I write it all the time. It is important that American's can read the constitution. That is what they told us so I be doing it.
Agreed, cursive is one of the most useless things I've learned in school. Only time it's useful is for writing signatures which you don't even have to know cursive to make a signature, just practice writing something unique to you and thats it.
the funniest part of the whole WHY IS HTE COMPUTER NOT IN CURSIVE??????? is that IT FUCKING HAS CURSIVE AND WE'RE EXPLICITLY TOLD NOT TO FUCKING USE IT IN ANYTHING IMPORTANT WE'RE TOLD TO USE AN ENTIRE DIFFERENT FONT
Wait, y'all mean "cursive" as in, just normal writing? My brain just broke. Why would people *not* learn it? Is it an USA thing? It's just... normal writing, it makes noting stuff (even on tablets!) so much easier, and it also helps children to improve hand-to-eye coordination. TBH starting to learn in 2nd grade is awfully late, IMHO! Isn't it kinda hard at that age? 😵 I could comfortably write in cursive by the time I was 7 and we just did... everything using it, it was just a normal part of learning and used in every subject. Plus, we used it in our private time, too: to send notes to each other in class, make cheat sheets 🤐, and write "X was here", "X loves Y" and/or some obscene words on random walls/trees 😂 I'm experiencing some serious culture shock 👽😂
I would like to file a class action lawsuit against cursive. Being forced to use it in 3rd to 5th grade made me so used to cursive that I forgot how to write like a normal person. I couldn't get myself to start writing standard again until 10th grade which is really embarrassing looking back. I looked back at my stuff from back then recently and my cursive was completely illegible to me. Bless my teachers that put up with grading my chicken scratch.
Why is it that in the new season it’s impossible to get rank now? I was Platinum 1 I won 5 matches and lost one and I didn’t even rank up, that’s was as support. As damage I didn’t rank up and I wen 5-0, I was diamond 1 and didn’t rank up. Overwatch is great 😂
The only thing more delusional than an Overwatch player thinking they deserve a higher rank is the CLOWN teachers that lost sleep at night because I don't like scribbling and calling them """""letters"""""
The fact that this world cup coverage begins with a rant about cursive is PEAK Flats, and it's amazing.
Man for over 20 years my mom wrote all my birthday cards in cursive knowing I couldnt read it being that I hadn't used it since 2nd grade. I used to eyeball her so hard everytime while making her read the message she wrote.
@@SageOfLimitlessHandsI can read it but writing it no idea
I'm 53 and I've never known anyone personally who did not write in cursive.

I remember there's specialized book to write in cursive, i guess its from older generation since most of them write letter in cursive.
Public schools are government run. All of them are government programming. The amounts vary.
There were private schools back in the day that would do a pledge of allegiance to the flag and then another pledge of allegiance to the Bible flag
Schools still do the morning pledge of allegiance and DARE. I graduated not long ago, we did pledge every day.
love the cursive convo and discussion (^_^)

Pov : flat ignoring the match and taking about school memories.
Tbh I wish Cursive was kept for highschool/middleschool. Would of been nice to keep up with as a dying art
"Clearly legible" sir you have not seen my print writing
Title: Spain insane world cup run!
Video: Flats ranting about how he happily prophesized that cursive would wither and die someday
Also he's right, cursive sucks. @ me

"there hasnt been a blizzcon in 3 years, lets make sure nobody can afford this one"
Had to re-watch the start of the match due to a gripping history story. 🥰
I never learned cursive. I switched schools and they taught them at different grades so i slipped through the cracks. Never needed it in my life.
I commend you for dodging some "penmanship" bullshit. Essay writing was the bane of my existence. 😭

I remember always having to ask “cursive or print?” For assignments hahahahahhaa NEVER used it after elementary school!

8:00 minutes of video: first comment about the match hahaha
I would rather learn binary than learn how to write in cursive. They can't treat as incorrect if you're using numbers
Cursive is needed to be learned since you need to be able to do signatures but they never taught me and I wish they did.
Literally just look up a tutorial. It's so easy. It'll take you 10 mins max to learn your signature in cursive.
@@rnf123 I mean you also have to be able to read it since it’s the norm for letters and stuff to be written in it. Plus it looks so pretty 😭
