Penmanship in the Past
Is penmanship in the past? See an interesting video abourt cursive handwriting loses importance in schools. So sad. “Getting by” is mentioned when it comes to schoolling and really ticks me off. No child or person should be just “getting by” whether it has anything to do with penmanship or not. Terrible.
I’m always blown away by the penmanship I’ve seen on vintage cards and letters. It seems that everyone back then knew how to write beautifully and legibly. Not like some of the slop that I’ve seen today that isn’t cursive but is considered legible. Despicable, if I were writing my playmate of the month stats my turn offs would be sloppy handwriting, smoking and non-stop talkers.
