Dear Reader,
There’s two kind[s] of students that take my courses: 1) more experienced, or senior, individuals who learned cursive long ago and wish to revisit the lessons of their youth and 2) less experienced, or younger, individuals who never learned cursive and feel like they missed out on something.
Regardless of age, all of my students, and of course myself when I got into this business, are looking to the past for something. We aren’t against progress, but we feel something is missing from modern life, something important.
Cursive alone won’t save us, if we even need saving, but when we sit to write, it gives us something that is missing. It’s the same thing you get from the clicking of a typewriter or a homemade pie crust. For the most part, the world has moved on from such things, but there are those of us that keep these little doorways to the past open for ourselves and others.
Sincerely,
Dave
