I suppose it would be better than not being able to write at all hf

"...Kids have a broader education than they did 20 years ago," said Jennifer Cockrell, an elementary language resource teacher for Brevard Public Schools. "Computer literacy is also important. Cursive is not taught at the point that it once was."

Many parents said they are upset to see the skill deteriorate.

Lisa Smoak, a parent volunteer at Longleaf Elementary in Melbourne, Fla., recently took a thank you card to school for her son's fifth-grade class to sign.

Of 22 pupils, only three signed in cursive.

"My son is not comfortable with cursive," said Smoak, who said she had to buy a workbook for her son to practice in. "Can you imagine being an adult and not being able to sign your name to a document?"..."

They just tell you that, so you'll feel better off for being damned near retarded. Its really sad, but if you can find textbooks from the 1800's or 1700's then ignore this "computer literacy" bullshit, and really bask in what was public school knowledge.

And honestly most peoples "computer literacy" just involves slamming keyboards, yelling obscenities, and updating the government on their locations, and current thought crimes.

We are a pale shadow compared to those who came before.
