Yes, because the constitution must be read in the original cursive like a photo document. It's pretty much impossible to find a "print" transcription, except for probably hundreds of sites on the internet.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. I.

Section. 1.

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section. 2.

The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature......

In reply to What Does The Death Of Cursive Mean?

The “print letters" style that replaced “cursive” made it impossible for people to ever read the CONSTITUTION of the United States of America.

Hey Ralph, how about register and write some blogs, rather than tagging on 5 year old threads? You seem to have something on your mind, happy to hear it.

In reply to Welcome, Ralph - does that

Ditto on the welcome to Ralph. Ralph, it would be great if you thought about signing in for a free account and using the "Blog Now" link at the top of the page to share your thoughts about education whenever they cross your mind or articles you like. Doesn't have to be fancy stuff...goes in the "from the Readers" column at left, which moves slowly.

Welcome, Ralph - does that

In reply to We sell our students short

Welcome, Ralph - does that reflect a teacher shortage?

HA !!! Many schools across

In reply to When it comes to

HA !!! Many schools across the country have dismissed instruction in spelling, because:
1. we have spell checker

2. we are discriminating against bad spellers because the spelling gene is inherited.

Instead of asking students to reach for the stars, we are lowering them to the lowest common denominator.

ugh

We sell our students short

In reply to My grand daughter who will go

We sell our students short every single day in the schools across this country. The teachers are not selected by watching them teach. They are not quizzed on their knowledge of the subject matter. In one of our major cities, they tested the grandfathered teachers on the MATERIAL they were TO TEACH and 1/3 failed that test and were removed.

This cursive issue is symbolic of the ridiculous paths are students are forced to take in schools, and accounts for the reason we fall farther and farther behind the civilized countries of the world. :(
