Good riddance. I remember being forced to do this as a kid and knowing full well it was a waste of time and that my life would be spent with keyboards. The only time ive ever "needed" it was exactly once to write that paragraph they make you reproduce in cursive for the SAT, which makes no sense in the first place, as though the weight carried by an attestation is modulated by the font it's rendered in.
Now i feel bad for my colleagues who were diligent students and learned cursive. They are stuck with handwriting that becomes increasingly illegible to the general population with every passing year. The only benefit it offers is being marginally faster than printing, but still vastly slower than typing. People are so used to reading print that i would argue cursive is becoming regarded as somewhat unprofessional.
- jogjayr 4y ago> handwriting that becomes increasingly illegible to the general population Are younger people really not able to read cursive? I find that hard to believe; it's still the same letters.

- eska 4y agoFor what’s it’s worth my Japanese friends can’t read cursive.
- mrguyorama 4y agoPlenty of the letters are different enough, especially in the middle of a word. IMO, messy cursive is WAY harder to read than messy print writing.
