whats next? no math. shit why do we need it? just use your adding mahine. hell mc donalds has pictures on their registers and most of those idiots cant count back change. must be my age. i learned how to write and also how to type. or is keyboarding now??

Keyboard skills are going to be more important in the future than cursive.. But it will be funny when people start signing their names by printing them. I write in cursive because I'm lazy and don't want to lift my pen of the paper.

The last time I wrote in cursive (aside from signing my name) was in 3rd grade, 24 years ago. Its useless.

You must be one of the many doctors I work with.

My schooling required both cursive and typing.. Why can't they do both?

So what your saying is we will have a generation of people who won't even be able to sign their own name?!?

it is pitiful! My daughter is 10 and going into the 5th grade. They learn cursive starting in second grade. It's not just about writing quickly. It's about fluency and the process the brain uses to create that conjoined handwriting on the paper. I just don't understand schools anymore. My niece went to an elementary school that did NOT have a music course. But they had football!?!?! I mean

Lol, the use of cursive should be banned for doctors, IMHO:
the way they write, often, looks much more like some electrocardiography than some calligraphy.
