I can distinctly remember practicing looping in elementary school. I was so excited to learn how to write in cursive. We learned using the Zaner-Bloser method, and I loved being able to write like grown ups. I read this article today, and I feel a little sad. I have students who can't write in cursive... much less read in cursive. I can get the writing struggle. I mean, I can hardly solve equations with only one variable. I can't get that it's hard to read in cursive. That escapes me.
After giving the SAT and watching those kids struggle to write a few sentences in cursive, I guess this article is true. Sad times.
