Cursive Writing Is Making a Comeback
Epoch Times • Jeff Louderback
Once dismissed as outdated, cursive is returning to classrooms as families and educators rediscover its value for memory, focus, fine-motor development, and connection to the written past. The revival raises a timely question: in a digital age, what essential forms of learning are children losing when the hand no longer helps train the mind?

Becoming Smaller in a Larger Story
Coby Dollof was a ninth-grade student trying to avoid the reading when a classical school teacher assigned him Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton. There was no shortcut, no SparkNotes page, no easy way around the book. So he opened it and something opened in him. What began with Chesterton became a doorway into wonder, beauty, humility, and the great questions of life. Years later, standing before Michelangelo’s Pietà in St. Peter’s Basilica, Coby found himself moved by something larger than he could explain. He was being drawn into a story bigger than his own. Now a writer and teacher at Pepperdine University, Coby helps students ask the questions that once found him: What is wisdom? What is virtue? Why do truth, goodness, and beauty matter? What is vocation? And what kind of life is worth living? This is a story about classical education as awakening. The kind of awakening that forms a person and helps them become fully alive.
