what about writing cursive?

I thought that had been abolished a while ago, but my daughter is learning it now.


It was for about 4 years and then added back into the curriculum when they realized how idiotic it was to eliminate in the first place.

I haven’t written a single thing in cursive outside a scribbled signature since elementary school. There is no reason for it to still be taught, grandma.

Can you elaborate? There are some people I wish would have never learned cursive because their writing sucks and you can't understand it.

I think anything you can learn is good, but its not something that a lot of time should be spent on teaching. I can write cursive, but it seems like at some point in college when I took notes, without even thinking about it I just stopped writing in cursive.

But how much do people write these days? You can type something and just change it to a font that looks cursive.
