I was taught penmanship in grade school - had an actual penmanship teacher come in to teach it. This was in public school mid 50's in the Northeast. I still use my penmanship and I very much enjoy sitting, composing and writing a notes or thank you notes to people. I also enjoy using the computer and am very computer literate. But as someone earlier today stated, I don't know if a state law needs to be mandated to teach cursive. I think it should be left to the local school board to oversee the curriculum. When my two sons were in third grade, it was interesting to see the difference in their penmanship. One teacher actually took the time to teach penmanship and handwriting and my other son's teacher gave a very short lesson as she told me she didn't have the time. Personally, I think she didn't have the inclination either. There is a remarkable difference in my sons' signatures.
