Good for Tim with timely intervention.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Good morning, loves. This morning's 2nd grade writing prompt is: What is something you would like to learn more about?
Bitches, what is something *you'd* like to learn more about?
For me, I would like to learn about the effect of early-age electronic usage on the development of fine motor skills of pre-schoolers when manipulating tools used primarily in school. Such as scissors, crayons, pencils, etc and how those effects affect a student's fine motor skill development. And also, handwriting. Where's Debet? I might need an OT for this.
This prompt brought to you by "Why the eff can't 2nd graders cut in a straight line? It's gotta be the Pokemon Go."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's because they don't get taught cursive any more.

I dunno, Tom. I don't think they even started teaching us cursive until second grade or later. For some reason, the second semester of second grade is what's pinging my memories.
eta: I'm sure that varies school system by school system, though. And I'm talking 50 years ago now.

Some schools do teach cursive still - both my kids had it in 3rd grade.

Yeah, cursive was typically a third grade start back in the days of yore when I went to school with Cain and Abel. Those guys were dicks. (My kiddos are starting cursive at the beginning of second semester. I'm excited.)
But the lack of cutting ability in my room is crazy cakes! I don't get it!

Also, it's pencil pouch audit day. Ugh. Give me strength.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
it's pencil pouch audit day.
I don't know what this is, but the name delights me.

Do they have to use the kids safety scissors? I was never good with those. OK, still can't cut with those. If they use real ones, I got nothing. Would also like to know what a pencil pouch audit entails.

I'm still terrible with scissors. I need to know what a pencil pouch audit is. I've missed you, Empress!
I'd also like to know why ltc was up early again today.
