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 😭

Cursive? Is this a private school? 👀 Or is this just how French schools operate?

It is typically determined by the teacher but it's definitely not in the curriculum in the 5 districts I've worked in across the country

Kids usually don't learn cursive anymore in the US? My son is in third grade and started learning this year (public school). I am curious if this is an exception 👀

that's the oddest arrangement i've seen yet 😂

But mercifully they’ve decided the kids don’t have to learn capital letters in cursive? So now we’re going to get a generation of kids who write in a weird hybrid of capital/lowercase cursive?

Makes total sense to me 🤔

Can. Confirm French schools in Canada also do this to kids.

no, ma'am. just our normal neighborhood public school!
