OMG- how do these people get published.  The writer of this article is
agreeing with the change in some public education curriculum related to
teaching kids to write in cursive which, btw, he is completely wrong about
from a brain development perspective.  

 

Here is the last sentence of the article:

 

"The world is moving fast. There's not much use for cursive writing anymore.
Let's let it go the way of instruction in the metric system."

 

How has the U.S become so ignorant about the metric system?
