For many years, a controversy brewed in public and educational circles about the wisdom of teaching cursive writing in schools.
There is no alphabet per se in Arabic, ONLY cursive letters.
Each letter has three forms: for the beginning, middle and end of a word.

You can't "block print" in Arabic or in Farsi, because they don't have block printing.

If we do decide to forego cursive writing, then at least train children to block print in capitals.

When my son writes a note, it looks like he is still in 3rd grade, even though he is in college.
