No humor intended just a good rebuttal of your reasons.

 

Why would a card hand printed be anymore meaningful than one written in cursive?

 

I do sign and write in cursive occasionally.

 

Why does a signature have to be in cursive?

As I posted earlier I have always wanted to just use an X as my signature.

 

 

When I go to the credit union tomorrow I will print my name for the endorsement on the check.

BF has a good point. We do move forward, but learning to read English in all forms is a good thing, not a bad thing. Honestly, it's just smacks of laziness to me. Again, I don't blame it on young people, they're not challenged to think for themselves as much as in the past. That's the point BF was making, and I think he's right.

 

Reading it is different than taking the time to write it.

 

When a generation puts any fault on the next generation they only have themselves to blame.

I think I am relatively the same age as you.

Doesn't sound like it when you speak of taking notes by recorders and computers. I've never heard of anybody being able to take lecture notes with a keyboard. I also don't remember ever having a professor hand me class notes so that I didn't have to bother taking them.

 

Or you could say our lack of ability to move forward in our thoughts on teaching will be our downfall.

No, it will be lack of imagination, lack of motivation, and lack of critical logic skills.

I have returned to school!

I wonder if the use of paper, over a slate, is considered technology? Would those of yesteryear, that used slates, consider us lazy for using paper instead?

I disagree that it was good rebuttal, I guess that's why I thought you were joking around.

 

It's just kind of crass to print on a card or personal note. Simple etiquette, really.

 

It doesn't, but it makes it much harder to copy.

 

Yeah, an X would be really hard to copy. People that used an X to sign their names in the past were uneducated and couldn't read or write. Obviously you fall into neither category.

Please do not try to interject logic or humor into this, LOL:D

You can't learn to read it without learning to write it.

 

Exactly why I think our generation needs to step up and see to it kids are taught everything we can possibly teach them, including reading and writing cursive.

Very good!

 

 

I know several people that print much much better than they write.

 

 

Who really compares signatures on anything anymore?

You can't learn to read it without learning to write it.

 

How so? Or, better yet, why not?

Apples to oranges.

I would hope my bank!!!

My bad. :lol:

What would the point be? Kind of stupid to do one without the other to me.

They learn more in school now than we could ever imagine. They are learning to write in cursive while they are taking keyboarding class.

 

Funny story

 

Years ago at a parent/teacher conference my wife and I were looking at the curriculum for the following year for my daughter. I noticed one class was keyboarding and I mentioned that I did not know my daughter was interested in music!:lol: True Story!
