attended back to school for the 5-year-old - met teacher, learned about curriculum, saw other parents

teacher explained how major academic goal is to get basics for reading & writing in place before stating a big focus will be cursive writing to which i unwisely chuckled

never in my adult life have i gotten such a glare from another adult 😭

Cursive? Is this a private school? 👀 Or is this just how French schools operate?

It is typically determined by the teacher but it's definitely not in the curriculum in the 5 districts I've worked in across the country

Kids usually don't learn cursive anymore in the US? My son is in third grade and started learning this year (public school). I am curious if this is an exception 👀

Can. Confirm French schools in Canada also do this to kids.

It is very French. This is the way they learn how to write in France. It's interesting.

no, ma'am. just our normal neighborhood public school!
