MD school under fire after graduate can’t read cursive

FALLSTON, Md. – A grandfather of a 2017 Harford County Public Schools graduate wants the school board to know the school system is turning out illiterate graduates.

“I am appalled that a graduate of high school in this county couldn’t read a note I wrote,” Jim Hudson told the board at a July meeting. “You … on purpose graduated students who are illiterate.”

Hudson told the board he wrote a note to the recent graduate of Fallston High School in cursive. The girl looked it over and stuffed it in her pocket, telling him she would read it later. Hudson said she didn’t read it right away because she did know how, the Baltimore Sun reports.

That's retarded, sir.

This is at least somewhat possible.  With the extensive use of computers and other electronic media, I can picture a student never seeing  or using cursive.

“When you see a 17 or 18-year-old student struggle to sign their name, it can be painful,” she said.

I wonder how he votes? Obama's Common Core removed cursive writing from the curriculum.
