When I went to grade school, they didn’t even call it ‘cursive’. (as if it was something ‘special’)

It was call WRITING. There was PRINTING, and there was WRITING.

On forms they say PRINT name here, and where the signature belongs, it asks you to SIGN or WRITE your name. I have never seen it say CURSIVE your NAME.

Regardless, it seems to be a sign of the times that our children are coming out of schools with less than an adequate education.

oops.

It was call(ed) WRITING.

Modern communications systems and standards appreciate 135wpm typing speeds.

Cursive gets in the way of that.

I took pride in learning to write neatly with my own flair.

Printing is for those who need to fill out forms but write poorly.
