i disagree. handwriting is easier when you know cursive and there's just no denying the sophistication of a handwritten letter scratched with a fountain pen onto parchment paper and sealed with red wax bearing your family insignia.
Those points all have merit and, yet, I maintain my position.
well, that's your second-cousin-twice-removed-living-in-a-remote-village-in-romania's loss. (we all have one, right, and who else is there to write such letters to?)
Clearly, I didn't have sufficient pen pals to retain my cursive abilities.
I really enjoy writing it. I've probably written hundreds of thousands of words that way. Can't really imagine what it would be like to write without cursive.
But I'm only half-heartedly teaching my kids cursive. We've spent a lot more time on typing.
If you enjoy it that much, there's a decent chance they'll want to learn as well.
No, cursive's dumb.
There's a paragraph about integrity, or something, on the GRE's that you're supposed to write verbatim in cursive. It was taking me so long that I decided to just call their bluff and write it normal. I had long since forgotten how to write a few letters.
Apparently that was fine.
