For several years I have questioned the time spent teaching cursive handwriting in 3rd and 4th grade. However, I haven't been able to find any research to back me up, so I mostly kept silent. Now the Indiana Department of Education decided that it is no longer compulsory. The article also states that there are 39 other states in the same position. Is Missouri one of them? More research for me.
Phil Hart has stated the position quite well in his blog http://philhart.edublogs.org/2011/07/09/how-will-people-sign-their-names/comment-page-1/#comment-111
Feel free to state your opinions.
