Long Live Cursive

Getting rid of cursive....for keyboard skills.  
NO!  

Forty-one states have so far adopted the new Common Core State Standards for English,
 which does not require cursive. 
It is being argued that cursive is not as useful and it is time consuming to teach.

I am going to sit down today and write a letter so someone special in cursive.  Why don't you do the same.... (I'll give you my address if you need someone to write. wink!)

It saddens me that cursive is not mandatory anymore. I recently wrote a list all in cursive just because I missed writing! =)
