Do you place a value on your signature? At first glance, a signature may seem like a relic—an elegant flourish from a slower time. Most people think of a signature as the cursive script hand written for a a person's name. Many young people today type their names, tap a screen, or accept an auto-generated font as “good enough.” After all, we live in a digital world. So the question arises: does a handwritten signature still matter? How do you answer the question? Is a signature more than a just a name? Your signature is one of the first legally recognized acts of adulthood. It signals intent, responsibility, and authorship. Signing your name says I agree, I understand, I am accountable. It is personal, distinct, and binding in ways a typed name is not? Yet an increasing number of youth and young adults cannot read cursive well enough to recognize their own name when written in cursive by others—let alone produce a consistent signature themselves. This gap is not just academic. It has real-world consequences. As we being monthly and weekly commentaries, I look forward to your input into the topics. What do you think? I look forward to your opinions, anecdotes and stories about the value of a signature and why the cursive script. Please add your thoughts and invite the opinions of others to join the discussion here in our first of many commentaries in our Skool community.

American youth got Zero penmanship instruction in public schools for over 20+years. Public school educators made efforts to bring every child confidence in computing skills. Today kids are comfortable with computing, but effective learning remains low in many communities and cursive script is a foreign language to many teens and young adults. 🔥We have the answers for you, your family and friends who want to: ✅ Build penmanship skills and create a personal signature.
