I try to include it whenever possible, and I long for a future where it's universal, so any date shown could be displayed in 8601/3339, and thus never in the five or so random date formats I have to deal with, not including relati

I didn't start to learn cursive until fourth grade, and then we did that only for a few weeks or months, and then it never showed up again.

I'd imagine the same; skipping evolution entirely is hard. Dismissing it however, is not that uncommon. > Between 2007 and 2019, there definitely was progress: from 51 percent of high school biology teachers reporting emphasizing

This is not the case in the US (anymore) and atleast some places in Europe. Print gets taught first and you learn to write with that, then cursive comes later, by this point usually as an afterthought.

> why did you waste time on learning to not connect your letters? As someone who learned cursive by learning a new script first, you're making a big assumption here. Nobody learns to not connect their letters. I didn't learn to

Tell that to my glasses. At any sort of distance where this could be an advantage, the clock is just going to be a blur anyway. Not to mention, how often are you in a situation where you want to know what time it is, but the nearest clock i

Is this the right attitude to have to kids who we want to get into reading?

Probably a better question, atleast for a wide variety of books. Some authors however are very into writing detailed descriptions of places because that's how their brains work and what their readers enjoy, but 95% of those description

I'd love to see those exams redone on a selection of adults with nothing to lose if they fail or get a bad score. Maybe the not giving a fuck becomes apparent then. Out of all of Žižek's writings, that article really isn't th

I agree that that's its purpose, but the fact that there are many adults who are as bad at reading and writing as there are just goes to show how bad the classes are at actually teaching what they're trying to teach. That said, ma
