Cursive
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A blog reader suggested this as a “rainy day” topic.
Do kids still learn cursive handwriting or has cursive instruction gone the way of the chalkboard? At what age do children learn cursive? Teachers, do you encourage children to use cursive or would you rather they print?
And another exciting Get Schooled giveaway: A recent college grad named Lerone Wilson made a film called “No Child Left Behind,” which is about, well duh, his take on this complex law.
For such a young guy - he was a student teacher at a school in New York - I’m impressed with how many aspects of NCLB he managed to touch on. If you don’t like Reg Weaver … maybe you want to skip this one. But he does give almost equal time to Education Trust and other pro-NCLB folks. Do you want this DVD? A blog reader kindly sent it to me and said I could pass it on to someone else. Shoot me an e-mail with your mailing address at pghezzi@ajc.com. First come, first served.
