The art of cursive is being lost
Amidst current discussions and controversy about the merits and challenges of the new “Core Curriculum,” a less dramatic yet equally important issue is the trend away from teaching “cursive” in our schools. As a retired teacher and current voter, genealogist and sports fan, I think the loss of the ability to write (and therefore read) cursive is another step in the increasing “depersonalization” of our culture with potentially disastrous consequences. I was further reminded of this as I went to vote by mail, where, on the envelope, you are told emphatically to sign your name (not print it) for your vote to count.

Vote yes on Measure F: Join me in supporting Measure F for a better, safer Gilroy.
Your view: Six letters
Ghost town if ‘F’ approved: Measure F, if approved, will implement a 1/2 cent sales tax for Gilroy, making the sales tax 9.25 percent for 15 years. The highest sales tax in Santa Clara Valley.
