1st Grader Told to Not Write Cursive Until 3rd Grade, Mother’s Response is Legendary

If the end result is what modern schools claim to strive for, but refuse to offer the same discipline and commitment to a pupil’s journey, then it’s no wonder students of this millennium find themselves bored, under-stimulated, and more often than not, less than cared for.
