Students should be be taught how to read a non digital clock and perform basic math calculations (square roots, multiplication tables, etc.) without total reliance on a calculator.
You are correct, Sir.

NAACP will say its racist to make students write cursive
Cursive, they think it’s writing words like “fuck, shit, motherfucker, bitch, ho…
WTF are you talking about?

Cursive is handy to read birthday cards from my grandma, but I don’t really see the point. No one will be using it period within 20 years.
It is still an indicator of education, and whether one uses it or not, learning cursive assists with other learning (or so I have been told.)

Exactly! Writing your thoughts down via cursive writing slows down the thought processes and allows for a more logical and sequential product. It also allows young learners to “sound out” words and actually improves their spelling. There has been a lot of research done on this very topic and the research supports the teaching of cursive writing in our classrooms. Common Core is a set of basic standards. It is not meant to be the end-all of curriculum standards.
Are they just going to type or text their signatures?
u r right, lol!

Well Fits–knowing how to sign one’s name quickly in cursive is a boost.

Our son was writing in cursive by the age of 6, thanks to Montessori. When we transitioned him to public school, I met with his teachers and let them know that he was already capable of writing in cursive. They got a really concerned look on their faces and let me and my wife know that they would not be encouraging him to do so in their class. He lost that ability within the first year away from Montessori. Let’s dumb those kids down now.
