Worse .. they are not teaching more of the other skills. What they do is teach down to the lowest denominator. The truth is that now:
Regular Classes = Borderline special education
AP Classes = The former regular classes.

You might be right, but declining level of education has nothing to do with whether they teach cursive writing or not... Fact is they have budget constraints, constraints on how skilled and motivated teachers are, etc and they do the best they can with it...
it's not like someone just decided lets not teach cursive anymore so we can teach kids how to play video games instead...
