Much of the focus on education in America is pointed towards standardized testing. Schools in the CCI district are unfortunately no exception. Much of the school day is dedicated to preparing students for the STAAR exam. When there is time left in the school day, teachers naturally move on to math, reading and writing.
Handwriting tossed to sign in favor of standardized testing prep
However, certain “life skills” are then thrown to the wayside when there simply isn’t enough time to cover them. This includes cursive. Although it is taught to third, fourth, and fifth graders, it is not included in the standardized tests. This means it does not become much of a priority. One mother in particular was upset upon learning that her fifth-grade son was unable to write his own name in cursive. Educators believe parents may have to accept the reality of teaching children themselves how to read and write cursive.
