Remember the writing pads for cursive.

My daughter&#39;s principal has a policy of taking away recess when young kids are late to school, school age children that have no control over their arrival to school. Until some schools have better staff, I think cursive is out.

Its also a lot faster than printing and losing the ability to write is a major step backwards. There are still times that handwriting is called instead of the impersonal computer or even written printing. (assuming they will even have that skill much longer) In My opinion no one but a complete idiot would suggest people not be taught handwriting .
