sadly my kids were just recently taught cursive in elementary school for some unknown reason

Learning it is mostly useful for being capable of reading it, esp. when encountering historical documents (or when encountering old people)

Or encountering California license plates. Or finding Walgreens.

Not wanting to learn cursive is like not wanting to know lower case just because caps lock exists.


I can tell you that while women appreciate romantic electronic messages, they appreciate handwritten ones 10-100x more

I learned in Brazil. Here in the California I asked my son's kindergarten teacher if she would teach cursive, and she said they don't teach calligraphy and I've never seen it described this way, but she's right.
