Sacramento Kings trade longtime point guard De’Aaron Fox. Also, the consequences of not teaching cursive in schools. Finally, a CapRadio goodbye to the SacramenKnow newsletter’s Clarie Morgan.
Rumors swirled and it’s now official. A longtime player of the Sacramento Kings is officially gone. De’Aaron Fox has been traded to the San Antonio Spurs. The star point guard has been with the Kings for eight years and in a post on social media said in part, “Coming in as a 19-year-old kid and leaving as a 27-year-old man, I'm grateful I got to spend the beginning of my young adulthood here. The love for the city is unmatched.” ABC10 Sports Reporter Matt George, who hosts the Locked on Kings podcast, talks about what’s next for the Kings this season.
Cursive writing began to fade away in K-12 education in 2010, back when Common Core began to focus more on keyboard skills for students. California recently passed a law requiring cursive instruction during first through sixth grade. But historians are worried that an entire generation cannot read or interpret historical documents, which are often written in cursive script. Sacramento State Archivist and instructor Julie Thomas joins Insight to talk about the threat to learning factual information about the past, and the value of reintroducing it in the classroom.
Almost two years ago, CapRadio debuted its signature SacramenKnow newsletter, bringing readers closer to community events, “local legends,” and unique stories throughout the Sacramento region twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Today, we bid farewell to the newsletter’s co-creator. CapRadio Assignment Manager Claire Morgan takes a trip down memory lane to talk about how she developed SacramenKnow’s style and voice, and reminisces about some of her most memorable moments.
