Typing Beats Scribbling: Indiana Schools Can Stop Teaching Cursive

Who still writes in cursive?

That age-old writing method you might never have used since fourth grade will no longer be taught in Indiana schools come fall, thanks to a memo from school officials. Instead, students will be expected to become proficient in keyboard use.

Seems like a smart move as being able to type efficiently is a vital skill in today’s world, as opposed to knowing how to write cursive, which — like being able to churn butter and knowing how to hitch a horse to a wagon — is no longer needed.

Congratulations Brent!

My friend Brent is someone I hold in high regard and I consider him a man among men.  He’s a man full of integrity, extends grace around every corner, and the ultimate gentleman.  Yesterday he popped the question to Heather and from the reports I hear, she said yes.

Here’s a photo of the happy couple before a dip in the pool.  It’s the only picture I could find of them on short notice.  I hope he’s not upset I got his ‘bad side’.
