Graduating hs next week.... lol
My 20 y/o can't read cursive either. Both went to private school k-12. I realize they stopped teaching it, but still incredible to me they cant read it.

I still write in cursive 95% of the time. It's kind of ridiculous that they don't teach it anymore.

Why would they stop teaching cursive in school? Its not like it’s difficult. I learned that in elementary school. Was required to write in it at one point.

I would think that the similarities between the shapes of the letters would give him enough information to make a rough interpretation.

If you are 20 years old and literate, and you can't read cursive you were too lazy to bother. You don't need a teacher if you are literate to begin with.

Why, some of the letters look very different. It's more weird someone still writes in cursive.
