So I had a flabby nikka moment, when did they stop teaching cursive writing in school?

[Windows 91]

yeah it's been a minute bro.

the world as we know it is fading away.

I had an old CD on a shelf in my office and an intern asked me what it was. i said that's an old presentation...he said no what's this round thing?

Damn, that's a wild one.

My little cousins flabby-check me all the time. I remember when I told one of them that back in the day if the phone rang, you got kicked off the internet. She thought I was bullshytting. She would've been shocked if I told her there used to be no internet at all.

This is all news to me. WTF?

That’s how you know this generation isn’t buying houses or other assets that require significant penned documentation

So when they say "sign your name", what do yall do?

i just scribble 1.5 letters lol, literally. either that or just my first name in cursive which doesn't take much skill

but i used to win the award for best cursive in my class. my handwriting and cursive is trash now though. probably from typing for a long time. either that or most of the time im writing its taking notes which im doing in a hurry

 

[Wildhundreds]

A signature is just a consistent, personal scribble.

To some. Some people take pride in their signature though. Its something thats supposed to be unique to that person.. like a finger print.

 

[MrSpook]

Yup. They don't have the FCAT anymore either I don't think.

Yep. Took it out and I missed it cause sht was so easy.

They have SATs now. All across the board I believe.

Curious if they still benchmark in lower grades.

Catholic school cursive is

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

That's embarrassing. You are not the one outdated.

Imagine trying to pass that dude a note while in trouble. The idea that analogue is obsolete is very misguided. All it take is no power to reboot their whole reality.

 

[Elim Garak]

Yeah that's been out for several years now. I think I first heard they stopped teaching it 5 or 6 years ago at least.

Was this 'intern' a 6 year old?

I had stopped by my unc crib. He asked could I look at his daughter math homework. "Man i don't know how they teach that now"

I'm thinking how hard is 4th grade math.

Looked at her homework assignment like

Man this. What’s messed up is I was literally a math tutor for a point and learned math up to Calculus. Tried to help my little cousin one day and was baffled.

[Paper Boi]

i can't find it in me to be mad about this.

cursive is dumb anyway... especially today when 99% of communication/writing is printed on a a computer/through email/a text document/instant message
