We’re not even teaching them cursive anymore and they still can’t type? What are they doing in schools?
Gen alpha is learning cursive. Gen z is all highschool and college now.
-worked in a k-8 tutoring program for 2 years.
Good to know because the gen zer at work said she never learned it. So it may be up to each school district.
I'm also gen z and I learned it. I'm also 24.
I thought Gen Alpha was very explicitly NOT learning cursive.
My gen alpha kids got it in 3rd grade. Or rather one did and one is about to.
Idk what to tell you. This is also a public school, and not a private school.
As a Gen Z - cursive is very much still taught in first grade, and not like you can forget it either because most school assignments are required in paper form, same for lecture notes. You're not writing this much and this fast without cursive.
