Reading, writing, and arithmetic, could become
Reading, texting, and arithmetic. I know many schools do not teach this skill. I wouldn't want it to become obsolete.

It's so true. We need our kids to learn how to write their signature. I'm really disappointed that schools are taking cursive writing out of their curriculums. My son is in 3rd grade and if I want him to learn, I have to teach him.

Smart move! I taught my now grown up son how to do cursive writing. It's hard for me to accept this as being a forgotten way of communication and art form. Way to go Jen!

It's something, eh! Parents still are able to be teachers when those educated ones decide on the irrelevancy of something we intuitively know is STILL relevant!
