Cursive is pitifully slow compared to modern writing systems. The basic Teeline shorthand alphabet can be learned very quickly; with practice, speeds of over 100wpm are easily achievable.
Cursive is, quite simply, obsolete. It's slower than shorthand or typing and less legible than print. It is enormously time-consuming to learn and can cause a great deal of confusion for children who are already struggling with print letterforms.
Teach typing, teach shorthand, teach stenography, but stop wasting classroom time with an archaic writing system.

- mordocai 10y agoI guess if everyone was taught shorthand like everyone is taught regular writing that might work out. However, in the current world if you want other people to read your writing either good cursive or good print are your best bets. If you just want to write for yourself, do whatever you want.
