It’s an elective now. I don’t love it because there is a lot of evidence pen to paper helps many people retain information. My daughter and I both fall in that category. Still there are so many new things kids are required to learn, mastering cursive had to fall

Anything that causes you to focus on the information works! I read Harry Lorayne's Memory book years ago, and taught myself how to memorize half a deck of cards on a 2hr flight - no cursive involved! And I'm aphantasic!

I’m happy that works for YOU but not true for anyone Pen to paper that helps me and my daughter and many others understand. I’ve often found assignments calling for rote memorization to be the antithetical to learning Obviously this isn’t always the case. But the thing is different brains learn differently.

I am neuroatypical and I learn very differently from others, I shouldn't have made a generic statement đź‘Ť

No worries. I’m the same except I never knew to what degree until my kid was in high school. Now that I know, I get triggered more quickly when anything sounds like a one-size-fits-all. Still healing that inner child Seriously 1000 $degen because I was having a heart attack last night with wonky points. Thank you
