10 Leslie FishI don't see why somebody smart enough to get into public office can't be smart enough to write legibly.

16 AnonymousDecent handwriting is important for everyone!
17 Robert V. Rose, M.D.American schools do not monitor fluency of alphabet printing in kindergarten or first-grade... This is a tragic omission, and as Maria Montessori pointed out long ago, a major stumbling block to literacy instruction, and therefore educational failure.
18 AnonymousThey have a college education and can't write legibly, that is just too sad!

21 Don FasigDocuments handwritten by public officials in the course of their official duties are part of the public record and should be legible.
22 Reid BaccioThe ability to legibily write is an important skill we all need to culivate. Please encourage the passage of this bill. Thank you. Reid
23 AnonymousPerhaps there can also be a Children's Legibility Act by the Department of Education. Cursive writing stimulates neural pathways and increases learning power.

34 AnonymousI am a junior in high school. I remember registering for the S.A.T. Most of my classmates who I learned cursive with in elementary school, forgot how to write cursive to write the certification statement. Ronald Reagan was a president like no other; even a president has handwritten uncountable business memos and correspondents even though computers and typewriters were at his disposal. When I am writing a paper for school, I always handwrite it out for two reasons, one to maintain and/or improve my penmanship, two to keep the document safe should my school's computer system malfunction for the day, as it has done so many times.

48 Lynnette ThulinI am proudly an elementary teacher by calling and profession . I am concerned about the lack of handwriting emphasis in many of our public schools. Handwriting does make a difference in comprehension. Too many unnecessary and costly errors have been and are still being made in the medical field,banking,correspondence, etc. because of the inability to read what is written. A KC restaurant was closed by the owner for a day when the computer system met a technical problem and the servers had to handwrite the orders. The orders could not be read by the cooks so the owner closed for the day. This was reported in the KC Star.
