Speaker 1: ask you guys a question? Love it? Do you guys
Speaker 1: ever still write in cursive? Do you guys ever do
Speaker 1: aside from your signature?
Speaker 2: Okay? Uh No?
Speaker 1: I rarely write period.
Speaker 3: My kids in school, my grandma still, you don't write
Speaker 3: anything like I have.
Speaker 1: I have, you know, my paper and pen here that
Speaker 1: I write. Yeah, And I also have a notable which
Speaker 1: is like kind of like an iPad that keeps notes,
Speaker 1: and then I will send notes. But I when I write,
Speaker 1: I write printing wise. Same.
Speaker 4: The only person I know who only writes in cursive
Speaker 4: is my momsive.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The reason I bring this up is my sister Mary
Speaker 1: Joe is a manager of a bakery for a grocery
Speaker 1: store chain. We don't have this chain here in uh
Speaker 1: In Michigan. But she got she got reprimanded and written
Speaker 1: up by her bosses. And the thing was, she was
Speaker 1: reprimanded and written up because she had to leave for
Speaker 1: the day and she left notes on what needed to
Speaker 1: be done, and when she wrote, when she wrote the
Speaker 1: notes for her employees, she wrote it incursive, and they
Speaker 1: told her that that that was not appropriate to do.
Speaker 3: When they wrote her up. Was it in print or
Speaker 3: actually it's print. I actually sent a picture of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which don't don't post it because I don't want
Speaker 1: my sister to get in more trouble by posting.
Speaker 2: It's the dumbest thing ever.
Speaker 1: It basically said on the side it said it said
Speaker 1: note prior. What does this say? Harry says, please print
Speaker 1: when writing instructions to make things more clearer, to make sorry, Okay.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at this now. First off, she has amazing handwriting,
Speaker 4: she does, doesn't she. Second, it's like cursive slash print.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like a mix and it.
Speaker 2: Is very very legible.
Speaker 4: It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Can I read what she wrote?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe not after you've finished.
Speaker 3: The other items on the back wall of freezer are
Speaker 3: the single count cake slices, small long boxes bring to shop,
Speaker 3: put in our cooler. You should be able to get
Speaker 3: anything done. You should get everything that lead the sheets
Speaker 3: on the counter.
Speaker 5: Wait, did you see the note up there?
Speaker 3: Someone else write there smile please prints?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was written by Yeah, that was the general
Speaker 1: manager that did that. When did they stop teaching this
Speaker 1: like what, like, what are stuff that that they're Because
Speaker 1: I've been in school and forever, and I still remember
Speaker 1: when the kid's math was completely different than my math,
Speaker 1: which I never understood why they changed the math like it.
Speaker 1: It never seemed to me to make things faster or easier.
Speaker 1: It made it was kind of just like some guy
Speaker 1: thought of something different. It's kind of like in church
Speaker 1: when they changed the responses that we had in the
Speaker 1: Catholic Church. And also with you and you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, and with your spirit, you know, it's like,
Speaker 1: why do we have to change the stuff. We don't
Speaker 1: need to change this. We've been doing it for so long.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it the same. Jesus, I'm right exactly. Jesus
Speaker 1: is still saying it the way he's saying it.
Speaker 3: The last time I did curse it was probably like
Speaker 3: sixth grade maybe, and then it just went away for
Speaker 3: some reason.
Speaker 1: Nobody ever talked about it.
Speaker 2: He waits, because you type everything.
Speaker 1: Wait. So they stopped it when you were in school.
Speaker 3: I thought so for a fact, when I was like
Speaker 3: eighth grade going to ninth grade. We didn't do it
Speaker 3: in eighth grade. I know that for sure.
Speaker 1: When did you get a computer in school, Like when
Speaker 1: did you actually physically because I had I had Texas

Speaker 1: when did you finally start using computers in your school?
Speaker 3: I know for a fact we had one in sixth
Speaker 3: grade because I remember playing Peaches and Cream the video
Speaker 3: in the beck in his red class.

Speaker 1: could take home because I remember I had to pay
Speaker 1: for them at the end of the year because they
Speaker 1: aft them up. We really Oh they had microstoft. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we take homes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a computer lab and then some classes
Speaker 3: had like a computer in there too.

Speaker 2: Ye we had.
Speaker 4: We had like a keyboarding class and that's where missus GLASKI.
Speaker 2: Yes, he taught us. This is weird.
Speaker 5: Why I took typing in high school and it was
Speaker 5: coach Styler And half the time we would end up
Speaker 5: typing his lesson plans for his other classes.
Speaker 3: Like that would be like thing, all right here, you

Speaker 3: coach Styler. Coach Styler taught uh, he taught typing, he
Speaker 3: taught business, and he was the basketball coach. We had
Speaker 3: to print the schedules out, did everything. Yeah, he was
Speaker 3: the varsity basketball coach. What's what's going on?
Speaker 1: To call?
Speaker 6: Hey Mojoe, good morning everyone.
Speaker 1: Good morning, what's happening?
Speaker 6: I just wanted to say, I'm a very rebellious soul.
Speaker 7: So you tell me to do something, I do the opposite.
Speaker 1: And if I would have got written up over.
Speaker 2: The way that I wrote, all hell would have broke Lewis.
Speaker 3: I would have been a rebellious bad mouth and person
Speaker 3: that day, because that is wild.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my sister is very you know, much similar to you,
Speaker 1: like where she does not like to be told, you know,
Speaker 1: like to her, that's common sense, Like okay, I wrote
Speaker 1: in cursive. I get some people might have a problem
Speaker 1: with this, but to write up over that, but but
Speaker 1: I I will tell you that it is interesting to
Speaker 1: know that there are some people that just wouldn't know
Speaker 1: how to read it, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I would have told them a buck up,
Speaker 6: buttercup and learn how to read cursive.
Speaker 7: Because uh, it's twenty twenty six.
Speaker 8: There's still a.
Speaker 1: Lot of people that write and cursor.
Speaker 6: My customers write checks and cursive all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not all cursive is may equally who writes checks though,
Speaker 3: like some cursive is is more difficult to read than
Speaker 3: other cursives. Like your sisters, that's a very legible cursive
Speaker 3: writing there. Sometimes my grandma will write and it's very
Speaker 3: difficult sometimes read.
Speaker 1: You know, it's tough for me when I see social
Speaker 1: media post and it's in Spanish or it's Arabic different.
Speaker 1: Well no, if you're a but you're on I'm on
Speaker 1: like some of our posts, some of our posts and
Speaker 1: they're written because they they're listeners that listen to us
Speaker 1: or that have that speak a different language, and I
Speaker 1: have to hit push these translations see translations. Have you
Speaker 1: seen that at all ever? On some of our books.
Speaker 2: Well, of course that's hard for you.
Speaker 1: I know I understand that, but I can't understand. I
Speaker 1: try to read the Spanish one. But here's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: I tried to read the Spanish one because I can
Speaker 1: understand in a lot of cases when somebody is speaking Spanish,
Speaker 1: I know what they're talking about just because I know
Speaker 1: certain words. But I try to see if I can
Speaker 1: read it too. What's going on? Cam? I know, no,
Speaker 1: you know what take it. I'm taking a couple of
Speaker 1: classes at O c C this year. What's going on?

Speaker 6: Good morning to Well. I work at a school. I'm
Speaker 6: not a teacher, but I do see I have interaction
Speaker 6: with a lot of kids and unfortunately, they don't do
Speaker 6: nothing with a pencil anymore. It's all on the tablet.
Speaker 6: You never see the kids walking around with pencil and
Speaker 6: a piece of paper to do anything. And I don't
Speaker 6: even know if they would know how to write curso.
Speaker 1: How do they get lead poisoning?
Speaker 7: Then?
Speaker 1: If that's the case, I want, do you remember when
Speaker 1: you were a kid and some kid like stabbed himself
Speaker 1: with a pencil. It's in the water, not Yeah.
Speaker 6: I remember putting glue on your hand and pulling the
Speaker 6: glue off your hand and eating it too. If you
Speaker 6: remember that.
Speaker 1: We used to sniff glue, we didn't really I was
Speaker 1: a marker sniffer? Were you?
Speaker 9: I loveds I remember that we used to have to
Speaker 9: have a number two pencil, and I used to think
Speaker 9: that if you didn't use a number two pencil it
Speaker 9: would not scan or whatever that if they told you, yeah,
Speaker 9: what's going on?
Speaker 1: Sarah?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 10: Hey, I train a lot of new people and I'm
Speaker 10: I'm up there at like thirty five years old, and.
Speaker 9: I just don't.
Speaker 6: Understand why they don't use chat GPT.
Speaker 10: To use everything since they use everything for that anyway, So.
Speaker 1: Why they don't use it in what in uh the
Speaker 1: code the code cursive? Like if they just ran it
Speaker 1: what had just told them directions? Could you imagine, by
Speaker 1: the way, if if we were in school again now
Speaker 1: with chat EPT, it would do everything for me. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't even go to class. That's what you
Speaker 1: would be pretty much. What's going on, Brandy, how you doing.

Speaker 8: loud as I want.
Speaker 1: Or whatever I like it. What's going on?
Speaker 8: Well? I was telling in about your topic about writing
Speaker 8: incursive and they do not teach that anymore. My children
Speaker 8: are twenty four and twenty one, and ask them to
Speaker 8: sign a document, they just write their first initials of
Speaker 8: their first and last name and then scribble.
Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? And yeah, that's what I need to do.
Speaker 8: They don't know how to They don't know how to
Speaker 8: balance a check book. They don't know how to tell
Speaker 8: time on a regular clock. They look at their phone.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's an interesting one. The time one is an
Speaker 1: interesting one.
Speaker 3: They need to watch at this point, I don't know.
Speaker 8: And they have no sense of what a dollar is.
Speaker 8: I mean, all they use is their phone.
Speaker 4: The balancing a checkbook, you don't need to know how
Speaker 4: to do that anymore. They're telling the time, though, they
Speaker 4: still teach that. They do teach that in like an
Speaker 4: old fashioned.
Speaker 1: I know there's but there are some people I can carry.
Speaker 8: When I had when I had clocked the house, my
Speaker 8: kids had no idea what time it was, And I'm like,
Speaker 8: are you serious? Well, mom, that's in Roman numerals. Okay,
Speaker 8: but so you look at the clock, you can figure
Speaker 8: it out.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 8: So yeah, they just get their phone.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie though. I have an Apple Watch,
Speaker 1: and if it gets set on Roman numerals.
Speaker 2: Who knows the nobody knows Roman numerals, statia?
Speaker 1: What's up to take a minute, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 6: Good morning, guys.
Speaker 2: Morning.
Speaker 10: I just want to piggyback kind of.
Speaker 2: Off of the last caller that her kids are dumb.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 10: I have a daughter who is going to the sixth
Speaker 10: grade this year. They haven't even started teaching them how
Speaker 10: to write in curses, but I teach her. I went
Speaker 10: down and rabbit hole and somebody told me that they
Speaker 10: were possible. They could be like, not teaching our kids
Speaker 10: how to write in curses so they won't be able
Speaker 10: to understand the Constitution.
Speaker 1: In the future.
Speaker 3: Really, Oh my God, the original constitutions.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it says.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what.
Speaker 3: You're reading it.
Speaker 10: But they, I don't know. We have to follow these
Speaker 10: rules and stuff. They if they want to be able
Speaker 10: to they won't be.
Speaker 2: Able to hold on.
Speaker 4: Hold on, Lisa, trust that person anymore?
Speaker 1: Are Lisa? Are your is your comments similar to Stasia?
Speaker 1: You know why they won't teach us.
Speaker 7: Lisa the Declaration of Independence? Yeah, the Declaration of Independence too.
Speaker 1: They don't want us to learn no cursive so that
Speaker 1: we can't read the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 7: We're getting lazier and lazier a way. Other countries are
Speaker 7: ramping up, so we need to step up.
Speaker 1: Step up.
Speaker 3: It's all cursive that's going. That's gonna keep us ahead
Speaker 3: of China. We just got to learn cursive.
Speaker 1: That's the key. It's not China, That's that's the key.
Speaker 1: All this time it was cursive. Do you think they
Speaker 1: even have AI in China? Like China? You can't China. Hey,
Speaker 1: there you go, the more you know? All right, now,
Speaker 1: let's pull out a clock and see if we know
Speaker 1: what time it is. Come on, go see where the
Speaker 1: hands at?
Speaker 7: Right now?
