Meanwhile the republicans are trying to bring back cursive handwriting. What a pathetic bunch of bitches

    Tbh, I like cursive. It's way faster for taking notes in class.

    And yes you can type, but writing by hand seems to stick in the memory better. Or so I've been told

    It's only faster if you write faster with it. It takes me longer to write in cursive, it did even back in middle school when I was forced to only use it instead of printing, and it still ends up far less legible. Also school should not be taught in a way where success is dependent on writing down facts as fast as you possibly can, that's not actual teaching. But that's a different issue, lol.

    Even outside of school taking fast notes has been an absolute lifesaver on the job

    I like cursive too but I'd rather kids be taught some actually practical skills instead. Civics, home economics, geography (so we don't appear in those "idiots can't point at [insert country here] on a map" videos so often), and programming would be preferable.

    I was effectively taught all of those things. I'm not even old I'm elder Gen Z.

    Schools just need funding and we need to get rid of no child left behind.

    Also those videos are very intentionally shot. They ask dozens of people and insert the ones that do poorly. Who wants to watch a video where everyone gets the answer correct?
