It’s really pitiful how my children’s generation handwriting looks like a 6 year old when they graduate from high school.
My generation, I was born in 1961, was mortified to have handwriting that looked like a baby. We couldn’t wait to learn how to write “script” as we called it.

Good for you/ I taught my son cursive and he has great hand writing. His friends in public think he is awesome because he knows how-SAD!

And add sentence diagramming. Unless you understand the structure of your native language, you will not use it correctly or properly understand any foreign language.

Good. Cursive writing promotes fine motor skills, and helps improve thinking and cognitive ability and engages the brain. My wife, a teacher, has taught this to her students (Catholic school). We hope to do the same with our kids.

How else would you sign your name? An “X”?

I remember the workbooks with divided widely spaced lines with the letters we had to practice over and over and over. By the time I started high school I had fine legible handwriting. By the time I separated from the Air Force, I was having to print because my handwriting had deteriorated to illegibility.

YES!

Actually cursive is easier than printing because your pencil/pen does not leave the paper during a word.

Good plan. Kids can learn and absorb many skills and information.

This will help weed out the public education teachers who can neither learn nor teach, and that is what needs to happen.

Education majors are usually just communist puppets, the bottom of the barrel in IQ, SAT scores, and reasoning and teaching ability.

The following article outlines why cursive is important other than simply to replace printing:
