My two cents. When I was in school cursive took hours of work to learn. I believe they don’t have time today. I remember my mom putting a stack of green paper on top of the refrigerator. The paper had what looked like wood pulp in it. There were thick lines and dotted lines. When homework was done. I sat at the table and wrote and wrote. She would judge how close I came to the dotted lines with the small letters such as “a” and “e”. Tears would fall, paper was torn from multiple erasures. I would finally complete a sheet to her liking and she would pull another done for one more practice.
I read well but could remember taking one of the slower boys into a cloakroom (old schoolhouse my parents went to) and having him read to me. The teacher didn’t have time to sit with a third grader who didn’t read well. I never knew how much I helped him. The next year we were redistricted to a school in a new town and the school was so crowded we were divided into sections (4-1, 4-2, 4-3).
