You gotta be kidding me............................

And the dumbing down of America continues.

Where does it or when does it ever stop?

Will people be so uneducated that we will have to put symbols back above stores ie three balls above a pawn shop, striped pole for barber shops etc etc........

How much money will be saved? Not that should have any bearing on this.

Today's Journal....

Cursive writing no longer required for school districts
Dept. of Education leaves it up to districts whether to teach the skill.

AND, PRAY TELL, WHY WOULD THE DEPT. OF EDUCATION MAKE THIS DECISION WHEN THERE WILL BE CREDIT CARD APPS TO SIGN, CHECK WRITING TO DO, MORTGAGE CLOSING DOCUMENTS TO SIGN, LEGAL PAPERS TO SIGN, AND OTHER INCIDENTS IN LIFE WHERE PRINTING YOUR NAME WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED? I'M TELLING YOU, FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE IN A SO-CALLED "EDUCATED" FIELD, THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A LICK OF COMMON SENSE, DO THEY? HOW DID PEOPLE GET THIS FAR IN LIFE WITH THINKING LIKE THIS? HOW DID WE PUT PEOPLE IN POSITIONS IN GOVERNMENT THAT THINK LIKE THIS? SHOULD PEOPLE WHO MAKE THESE KINDS OF DECISIONS STILL HAVE A JOB? ]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:51:50 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4040&PID=28927&title=cursive-writing#28927
