Can Your Child Sign Their Name?

Did you know that cursive writing is no longer being taught in most public schools? According to different sources, 41 (or 46) states have eliminated the teaching of cursive. Keyboarding is taught in its place. Teaching keyboarding is fine; it is logical; it is keeping up with the times. However, discontinuing the teaching of cursive writing is (in my opinion) a mistake.

Many teenagers, some adults and almost all children cannot "sign" their name. Their signature is now printed.
