I work with teenagers and people in their twenties. They don’t know how to write. They can use a keyboard and they can print, but handwriting is not a skill they were ever taught or learned.

I must admit I can barely write myself, but my niece is entering middle school here in Thailand, not an international school, but a good, private Thai school, and they teach English cursive writing.
It’s a shame that kids today aren’t taught cursive writing. If I hadn’t learned as a kid in the 50’s, I never would have been able to read all the old archival records/letters back when I was doing historical research. Everybody wrote in cursive back in the old days. How will these kids ever be able to dig through old manuscripts if they can’t read or write cursive script?
