Cursive writing discriminates against left-handed people, an underserved and historically oppressed minority!
Ahhhh.....or do all those minor inconveniences cause us to be more imaginative, independent, and more able to endure minor impediments to success? Does this enhance our problem solving skills?
<^..^>
I’m left-handed and my penmanship is awful, lol. Print, cursive, you name it...bad. I’ve always heard that left-handed people tend to have poorer handwriting than right-handed people. If my handwriting is any indication, that’s true! :)
One of my kids is a lefty, they have special everything from scissors to notebook
I’m a lefty. No problems with cursive. The problem is with right handed teachers not being smart enough to have left handed students tilt their paper the opposite direction. Right handers have the top of their paper tilted toward 11 o’clock where left handers should tilt their papers to 1 o’clock. That fixes all that ridiculous upside down bent wrist hooey.

I see your humor... and I also note how lefties curl their arm around the paper and try writing upside down. Which sort reminds me of the ogre guarding his food.
My sister is a lefty and says that she often wonders about writing right to left and backwards as it would be more natural. Oddly enough my sister is an expert at calligraphy and Copperplate calligraphy... go figure.
If you take a look at a map notice that writing in countries east of Jerusalem is right to left. And West of Jerusalem is left to right.
And it is called “writing” (i.e. righting) for a reason.

It is the truth! Fountain pens, scissors, notebook binders, checkbooks, smartphones, butter knives, so many hateful things. Its a conspiracy I tell ya!

Lefty Lives Matter!
As a life long oppressed left handed person, I 100% agree.
No it doesn’t. I have a left-handed son. I just placed his paper in the middle of his desk and he moved it so it would slant to the right. He has good writing because of that.
Parents need to be adamant with the teachers about the correct placement of the paper for a left-hander.
I'm left handed, and never wrote in the crab-hand or hook style. I hold the pen between my thumb and index finger as any right-hander would. Thankfully, the schools in Rochester, NY in the 50's taught us to read and write longhand properly. Back then we wrote with a wooden pen with a nib inserted, and ink wells. Had I not learned to read and write script, I never would have been able to do historical research of original documents.
