		<description><![CDATA[I learned printing in primary school up until about year 5, then learned hand writing.  That was in 1992.

These days primary school children aren&#039;t learning printing or hand writing.

What they are learning is like hand writing, only the letters are separated like printing.

This really bothers me as when I saw my neice&#039;s homework, I assumed it was her stupidity.

I don&#039;t know what Employer&#039;s will think when they look at handwritten resumes, just as well most things are done on computer these days I guess.

What really bothers me, is I am now teaching my three year old daughter how to write.  When she goes to school she will learn a different way of writing, that to me, makes no sense at all.

If it&#039;s to make it easier to teach handwriting to children, I never had any problems learning printing, and then handwriting in primary school!]]></description>
