I hear that Cursive is not taught in school now.  How foolish and unfair to a young mind.  But I am not surprised; I recall reading years ago, to my amazement, that an “educator” remarked “that teaching ‘logic’ was not necessary now that calculators were commonly available…  (this was in the era of Radio Shack calculators).”

Hell, I regret not taking Latin in school.  But I was a obstinate kid that should have been corrected.

I really do not know how far down the Hole of Stupidity teachers will dig before they wise up.  Ayn Rand once wrote: Who is teaching these teachers?

One should learn to walk before running.
