Cursive is a dying form. I have to admit I can hardly read it.

But as a Gen Yer, word processing and computer science replaced it in school. It’s a shame because I can’t read what my grandparents wrote in letters.

Definitely not dying.

Many forms of writing are inherently cursive, too.

I hope it's not rude but, I'm curious as to how old you are? In every school I've worked at, they have taught cursive. Even the Common Core schools in Cali and NV.

If we don't teach cursive, how are future generations going to read our original national documents like the Constitution?
