whyyyyy do we need cursive anywayyyy

Most people don’t even use cursive for signatures. Eventually, they all just dissolve into squiggles.

Plus Some people’s cursive can be pretty unreadable even when they do put in the effort.

Oh noooooooo, society is chaaaaaaanging, what will we dooooooo~???

I was taught cursive, told I would need it in high school when we started writing essays.

Teachers didn’t accept anything in cursive. By the end of highschool teachers were not accepting hand-written essays and everything had to be typed. Though, they assured me cursive would probably be a thing in university because you have to write essays in class sometimes too and wouldn’t have access to computer to type it up.

In university, we were warned, that cursive can be a faster method of writing, but harder to make legible when writing quickly. We were warned if the professor couldn’t easily and quickly tell what we were saying, it would count as not having written anything. This included in-class exam essays on a time limit. So no one used cursive.

So while I was constantly being assured that cursive would be very useful when I grew up, it only became increasingly obsolete.

Why would we continue to teach obsolete skills? Why waste the time?

That being said… kids are exposed to a lot of different fonts… some of which are cursive. I think they can figure it out.

cursive is more of an art form than it is a way of life now a days and i appreciate the beauty of the script but its not practical unless you can do it really well and quickly for anything school related tbh.

Cursive is calligraphy that they tried to pass off as a life skill instead of a hobby
