One of my friends told me recently that there is a school district in Indiana that is replacing the time spent in third grade classes teaching cursive with teaching keyboarding. I didn't believe it was true, but I found the article
here about that particular school district and another in
USAToday about whether cursive is worth teaching anymore.
Well, I personally love penmanship. I've always loved writing in cursive, and definitely consider it an art form that should not be lost, so here are a few things that really show how beautiful it can be.
The above is handwritten custom calligraphy from
DesignsbyRobynLove, who does beautiful work for wedding envelopes and probably whatever else you need.
Written in beautiful script in the world's most romantic language! This necklace and host of others available from
Piano Bench Designs. You can even get one that says 'crap' in cursive.
Finally, practice your own cursive with this handwriting book from
Every Eskimo. I have to admit i'm have tempted to buy it myself, but I think the students in Indiana could probably use it more than I.
After all, my handwriting is near perfect.
