Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for February 22, 2021

Do they even teach cursive anymore? I heard that some schools stopped teaching it, at least for a while.

It works! Look at those beautiful ’z’s’…

I was usually slapped when I used cursive language.

Learning in your sleep, hu?

People usually curse when they try to read my cursive writing

Many years ago, my then-wife and I enrolled in an algebra refresher course at the community college. The first night, she sat directly behind me in class. As the instructor droned on, belaboring some obvious point, I drew zzzzzzzzz all across a row in my notebook and showed it to her. Shortly thereafter, the instructor touched on the point that to be able to tell a ‘z’ from a ‘2,’ we should always put a slash through our z’s. So naturally I put a slash through all the z’s I’d written, and showed that to my wife. I got a strong poke in the back from a giggling woman for my trouble.

well – well… Horace made it all the way from A to Z…! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Common Core sucks! To take away the wonderful world of cursive is cheating a person of his personal trait, his creativeness, his expressions, his artistic ability. It just incenses me when I give a card to my grandkids and they can’t read it. What kind of bull is this? a you know the TV commercial….“THE MORE YOU KNOW….” ? They have taken it away…Common Core had dumbed down America and I don’t recognize it any more! It has put this nation at the bottom of the academic list compared to other countries, where we used to be at the top! Thanks to BILL GATES, OBAMA and all the Governors who signed on to this Cirriculum our country can’t even read, spell or have in debt learning….BOO HISS

I don’t cursive,but I know all the words.

everyone should know cursive if only to curly-q your emojis….no one writes anymore

He or she that is unable to read cursive will not be able to read the original Declaration of Independence, strangely not signed by George Washington for some reason that John Hancock didn’t have.

Cursive is beautiful!

He is making the symbol used to identify a chocolate fudge filling. MMMM good dream

They were fools to stop and have started again.

When I was in college, I thought taking a shorthand course might help in notetaking. I signed up through Adult Education and went to the first class at the local elementary school.

“Everyone look at the letters above the blackboard and repeat after me “A” …………"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Never went back.
