Cursive is a waste of time. I agree with the educational establishment.

Earlier this month, you wrote “I care about the long term strength of the US Constitution”.

And now “Cursive is a waste of time.”?

Huh? The “long term strength” of a document depends on us being able to read it, not listen to some lefty tell us “what it really means”.

No. Reading and writing cursive saves time compared to printing.

I agree as well. Some things become obsolete over time and are not worth the time to learn relative to other subjects that have more relevance in a contemporary society. I see cursive as one of these, even though it is still a useful skill.

I thought the 8 arguments FOR cursive in the article were pretty weak. They were mostly about reading vs. fluent handwriting.

Granted, rather than teach something more useful than cursive in the digital age, the hard left educational establishment will instead fill the replaced curriculum with even more useless left wing propaganda and indoctrination - like glowbull warming or revisionist history. However, that doesn't have anything to do with the pro/con cursive discussion as a standalone issue. Cursive should be part of an elective course and no longer required, similar to Latin and other curriculum that used to be mainstream but only has limited value these days.
