[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 616409, member: 1631"] I teach 4th and 5th grade and haven't taught cursive in quite a few years. There simply aren't enough minutes in the day. It isn't something that we "have" to teach and with everything we do have to teach it isn't likely to happen. Still I do have some little books I may have the kiddos try this year (most of it will have to be done at home). As for memorizing math facts, we still have the kiddos do that. In order for them to be proficient at the end of 4th grade they have to know all of the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. They have to read problems and give us the answer within 3 seconds. It's always interesting to me that our district keeps giving us more to teach without taking anything out (except cursive and that might be coming back). Apparently they don't understand the fact that in order to teach things well something has got to go. (Sorry-I'm off my soapbox now.) [/QUOTE]
