Sorry, it did sound like sarcasm to me by the way you put "the feeling" in parentheses. BTW English is my second language so you just have to bear with me.
Lucille,
You started with a proposal for a study on the performance level of students who wrote cursive vs. printing (as far as I know all students are taught cursive writing at some point).
I dared to point out sticky points if you were to think about making a study of that sort as well as suggest maybe a third way to even out the scoring levels, if in fact you could actually say with certainty that one is definitely doing better than other because of.
Have you learned the difference between an honest critique and sarcasm yet?
If not, I've barely gotten started with showing how flawed your presumption is.
No I'm not showing off, it's not in my nature.
But I am a prickly old man. So go talk down to someone below your vast experience level.
Lenka,
The reason I put 'the (a) feeling' in accents is because what ever can or can't be proved is really nothing more than that. A feeling.
Before proof, whatever is at question is not fact. Thinking it doesn't make it so, a suspicion doesn't make it so, before everything else it's an intuitive feeling.
It wasn't meant nor did I expect it to be taken for sarcasm.
Hello and sorry for all the misunderstandings. I was born in the Czech Republic and lived there until I was 26 years old. That means that's where I was educated and that's where I also taught before I came into the US. English is my second language and all I have to judge what people are saying is that blip on the screen and sometimes I misunderstand, so honest critique or sarcasm is hard to tell with my kind of background if you can accept that. As far as my professional experience: I have taught kids 3 years old to adults of all abilities starting with autism to gifted children. I taught different nationalities and lived in four different countries. When I went to school we were only taught cursive and that's what we used throughout our educational career. There are many reasons why I think the education where I grew up was better than what I see here and I am not going to go into that. It is too complicated. But I definitely think that writing cursive only was one of the many reasons and would like to know if I am right or not. And I am not trying to look better or more educated than other people (that's what you mean by the last sentence, right?) This is probably my last post to this thread because first of all this poor guy is asking questions about his PhD and not about all of the above and second of all I don't like talking to prickly people who can't stop being prickly around people who simply don't know enough English to understand.
