Hi Fishes
I would like to know about the client interviews (especially in data science or machine learning roles).
Are these interviews tough?
Are these interviews meant to assess technical knowledge? For example, what is binomial distribution, what are different data structures in python, ml algorithms etc.
I would request each of the nagarrians to share their thoughts irrespective of the technologies you are working.
I am thankful to you for taking time and helping me out.

Woohoo just closed my first client!!!!

I've heard various reasons why cursive was dropped over time. One that kind of makes sense is that it's time consuming to teach it. And I guess the idea was to teach digital skills instead. I think it's a bad idea to just let it fade away. I'm not aware of any schools that require it, but I assume there could be some out there. I don't know that anyone has written a well-reported book on the disappearance of cursive writing, but I'd actually be interested in reading something like that.
California has added cursive writing back into the elementary school curriculum and I think it’s terrific. The issue, however, is that we have a large group of kids currently in upper grades (4-12) who never learned it - very sad!
There are so many benefits of learning cursive and I believe it was extremely short-sighted to eliminate it from the standards before. Because cursive is a flowing script, it crosses the brain hemispheres and unites the logical side of the brain with the artistic side. Doing this actually has some notable memory benefits, just like using color does (hence, the reason I teach students to use highlighters to color code their notes).
Lastly, students who cannot read cursive cannot access historical documents in their original form. Having done a lot of my own genealogical research, I’ve found that most documents prior to the 1930s were hand-written in cursive. Things like census forms, marriage licenses and birth certificates would be inaccessible to someone who can’t read cursive.
We still have cursive so hearing that it was stopped in a lot of places was kind of weird. I can totally understand that between that and something else, maybe reading, one can be more important than the other. I’ve actually seen it be a great thing for just coordination and good reason to put pencil to paper in a near everything digital world.

I agree. I think that is one reason my kids are living it. I am really thinking about giving my students the option to turn in assignments on paper if they want to practice their cursive writing skills.
Montessori teaches cursive. Also, there is science behind cursive being great for students with ADHD because the flow of the words gives more consistency. Same as ADHD kids with pens, as pencils wear down they feel different in our hands and pens are consistent.

I totally agree with this. My student who is usually all over the place, is actually finishing her work so she can have time to cursive write before class ends
We teach cursive in 2nd grade

My students are really talking about and wanting to learn. My fast finishers are going through practice sheets like crazy!😀

So many of my students say they wish they had learned how to write in cursive. That is one reason I let them practice if they want to learn it in my room. Plus it gives my fast finishers something to work on.
