attended back to school for the 5-year-old - met teacher, learned about curriculum, saw other parents teacher explained how major academic goal is to get basics for reading & writing in place before stating a big focus will be cursive writing to which i unwisely chuckled never in my adult life have i gotten such a glare from another adult 😭

have they been writing at all so far? Interestingly for me I never felt like I learned “cursive” it’s just that I learned to write and it happened to be in the cursive style

no, only letter recognition as of the last school year. this is the year (maternelle grande) writing is introduced. iirc, you did your maternelle (and maybe your élémentaire here?) which might explain why it's the style you learned, no?

Yeah I was there until 2nd grade, so I just learned to write in cursive and still do most of the time I feel like the best options for cursive are to A. Learn it as your way to write or B. Don’t but the American way of kind of teaching it and then never looking it again is the funniest path
