Gotta go with the times, I guess. I can also see blending technology and language arts(English), since that's the direction our communication is going, and moving literature to the Humanities/Fine Arts curriculum.

Kinda hard to use a signature on something without cursive. I was made to print in the military on logs and reports, that pretty much ruined me for cursive except for signing documents.

I kinda made up my own... something between cursive and print.

And honestly, I don't think you can "unteach" cursive; it's basically print that is connected and with loops instead of hard stops when possible. It pretty much invents itself.

I've heard that the school system has quit teaching cursive because the 'Big Chief ' tablets were deemed racist to native Americans.
