Tennessee schools still teach cursive, my 3rd grader is so excited by cursive she writes more legibly cursive than she does printing. She\’s still a hunt & pack typist, though - I think she\’s learning my leftindexfinger and right thumbplusfirsttwofinger typing style.

I’ve heard that, too. I’ve also heard of kids using internet slang in English papers, meaning that all correct spelling is going directly out the window. heh.

I wonder what the English language is going to look like in twenty years…
