<p>H has handwriting that is so illegible it’s embarrassing. After 23 years, I still can’t read it and printing is only slightly better. My kids all write in cursive that is fairly legible although way too small for comfortable reading. In our former school district in NJ, once the kids learned cursive in 2nd grade printing was no longer accepted. Here, anything goes. I had no idea that kids today primarily print until my youngest said he is one of the only kids in school that ever uses cursive for in class assignments. I think there was a thread earlier this fall that said something like only 15% of SAT Writing essays are done in cursive.</p>
<p>My mother has the most beautiful cursive handwriting that I always wished I had inherited. It really is a dying art form that I will miss.</p>
