The local school seems to wobble back and forth on continuing to teach it. My fourth grader is in full-on complaint mode regarding learning cursive. I told him if I had to put up with learning it, so did he. Truth is, I can't even remember the last time I used cursive. I don't know if I've done it since high school, and I doubt I could do it now.

Said fourth grader was doing his math homework last week with a slide rule.
