This blog is sponsored by the Southern California Chapter of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation (AHAF).
Our Main Objective is to raise awareness among educators and legislators of the importance of mastering cursive handwriting for the physical and emotional benefits in the development of the child.
Our End Goal: Develop outreach programs to educators and legislators and lobby for retention/reestablishment of teaching cursive in the classrooms.
Come on! "Cursive" is only *one* style of script, and far from the best of them. Other styles -- like Italic, Copperplate, Blackletter and the like -- are much more legible, quicker to learn, easier to teach, and frankly more beautiful than Cursive. Cursive all too readily lends itself to the illegible scribble for which doctors are notorious -- thereby causing thousands of deaths every year from "medical errors". If only for all the deaths it has caused, Cursive deserves to die!
