Someone informed me that public schools no longer teach this in their curriculum.. Is this true? Mine both go to private school, but I find this hard to believe. I know a lot of people don't use it anymore.

My kid is in 2nd grade, in public school, in Alabama and can write cursive. If they're teaching it to 2nd graders in Alabama of all places....I would think they're doing so elsewhere too.

Good. Too much time and effort wasted on something that the kids will not use once they enter Jr. High. It's pointless.

Nature of the beast. Just like calligraphy and fancy script were quite popular around the time the declaration of independence was written, that too has died. With this being the digital age, I am not sure why we need various forms of written text.

A lot of private schools have stopped teaching it as well. It's a dying practice. 99% of everything these kids will express will be in digital/typed format. There is no need for cursive.

Yes. I tried to write in cursive recently and my hand was killing me after a couple of paragraphs.

I almost always use cursive, basically if I am making a list or just jotting a few things down it will be print, other than that all cursive. Jr high teacher wouldn't accept anything hand written unless it was cursive, never got out of the habit. Plus I think it looks better, FTW.

I took the LSAT a few years ago and one of the things they made you do before the test was write a whole paragraph in cursive - something to the effect of not cheating - I've never seen so many near college graduates freak out. I just scribbled a bunch of m's and moved on.

I havent written anything in cursive other than my name in at least 15 years. I'm 31.

I quite writing in cursive once I got to college. I could no longer read my notes.
If you ever take the GRE, they make you copy in cursive the academic integrity policy. Lord, that was almost more difficult than the actual exam.

frick cursive. That's not how you write an s.

As soon as I left high school I stopped writing in it.
(this was 1998) So I'm sure it's even more dead now as everyone has computers.

My friend teaches college classes in Georgia and he said that he was writing notes on the board in cursive and some students asked him what he was writing, they couldn't read script
