Too many citizens think they understand what "signature" means, when in reality they do not. To further your children's education on this vital but often misunderstood point,, visit http://www.HandwritingThatWorks.com -- click the FAQ link, and search the FAQ page for the word "signature" to find some information that any citizen should have before teaching about signatures.<br /><br />Kate Gladstone<br />Director, the World Handwriting Contest<br />Founder and CEO, Handwriting Repair/Handwriting That Works handwriting instruction/improvement serviceKateGladstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062492442607584456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-65239407845365774162009-07-05T17:06:11.305-05:002009-07-05T17:06:11.305-05:00I am totally with you about the schools teaching s...I am totally with you about the schools teaching standardized tests and (seemingly) nothing else these days. I think that we have to be more vigilant with our kids and teach them all the important things that they need to get along in society.<br /><br />Although, from the looks of it, things like manners, a real education and many other social niceties aren't needed any more. Sometimes it feels like we should just let our kids act like all the rest of the world so that they won't get stepped on and always have to be the ones to apologize and make things right.<br /><br />I was just at the store a few minutes ago and I had to tell Nathan and Grace to stop doing something in the checkout line. They stopped and said, "Sorry, Mommy" and then stood there quietly until I finished paying. The clerk went on and on about how she couldn't believe what good manners they had and how well they listened to me, blah, blah blah. (Good thing she wasn't in the church service this morning when I told them to stop whispering no less than 2745 times!)<br /><br />I just couldn't get over how surprised she was at basic manners and respect for authority.<br /><br />Okay...I'm stepping away from the soap box....<br /><br />XandraXandra@Heart-of-Servicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583676836374203349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-19688347263124666572009-07-05T16:09:54.585-05:002009-07-05T16:09:54.585-05:00oh no you have introduced a slightly addicting gam...oh no you have introduced a slightly addicting game on your blog, ahhhhhh<br /><br />there are indeed all kinds and not teaching cursive really??? ughMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682296763369964666noreply@blogger.com
