The removal of cursive written from the primary education system is a planned strategy to remove long term memory from our children. Replacing this traditional skill with new technology will create a backward spiral. This may explain why
Cursive handwriting is disappearing from public schools

Should Schools Bring Back Cursive Handwriting?
A variety of educators and politicians across the country are pushing back against the death of cursive, resurrecting the rite of passage. Here's why.

Generation (F) & (G) --Ages 0 :: 24-- are most effected by this drastic change. If these generations are not taught and do not practice writing cursive they will suffer memory damage and NOT effectively recall the past (ie. their greatest history). Maybe this is the strategy? Think about it!

WHAT YOU NEED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND IS THE FACT THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM IN ILLITERACY BY DUMBING DOWN EVERY GROUP AFTER GENERATION Z (1995-2009)
In 2010 the government removed CURSIVE WRITING from "the Common Core State Standards" outlined for students in grades K-12.
These bullet points now drive the core state standards:
• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
• Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
• Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
• Model with mathematics.
• Use appropriate tools strategically.
• Attend to precision.
• Look for and make use of structure.
• Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

The intentional removal of cursive writing impedes:
...a young minds mental skill -- that guides the flow of thought as well as guides the flow of words.
...a young minds mental skill that directs the focus to content in a sentence, in a paragraph, and in a book, in a set of encyclopedias.
...a young minds mental skill that stimulates the whole brain.
...a young minds mental skill that strengthens motor control.
...a young minds mental skill that makes for a better, more accurate speller.
ANALYSIS: Why learning cursive is vital to students' education
In 2010, many states removed cursive writing instruction from their education curriculum. By 2014, scholars were concerned that the move hindered college students' academic abilities.
All of my children are past school age. However, Eye did discover one grandchild that was separated from cursive writing when she was in the third grade. She struggled. Assessments pronounced her as remedial. Eye knew she had my genes, so Eye knew she was intelligent. Eye am a natural problem solver. Yet this riddle took a minute to solve. Eye would order her books from Amazon, yet nothing seemed to resolve her learning deficit until recently when Eye was surfing the internet and came across the subject of cursive writing. Eye connected her learning deficit with her inability to cursive write. It was a match.
