      This reminds me of when I first read Hamlet as well.  
  • So, as with Hamlet, though we hope with a lot less trauma, they will spend much of their remaining time attempting to answer it.

  • There's a contentious debate among techy teachers who are ready to discard handwriting / cursive and traditional teachers who see the value for reading, writing and fine motor skills that teaching handwriting provides.

      This is a surprisingly heated debate.  The only reason I cling to for learning to write in cursive is the discipline aspect of it--training your body to do what your mind wants on such a small scale.  Seeing a child struggle for hours on homework that has to be in cursive, however, quickly makes me lose my resolve in that argument.

      How many of you had to do this?  I actually didn't do this until I got to high school (Catholic, of course).  My elementary schools focused almost entirely on process writing.
