        : It IS necessary. You can't have a signature without learning cursive, otherwise you are just printing your name. #Notary

        Some college students can't read it because they've never been taught. Not teaching it doesn't eliminate it. Creates a disadvantage.

        It's also an utter waste of time. School offers an opportunity for kids to learn and collaborate together. But it's wasted on this.

        Works for me. I got A+ in writing. On any legal documents you have to write your name, not print your name. Glad it's back. 😎👏👏👏

        Are you arguing that we need an entire curriculum devoted to cursive so kids can learn to sign docs, that don't require cursive?

        We learned cursive in a couple months in second grade. I highly doubt it had a detrimental effect on our lifelong learning.

        Not my point. My point is that we need to be forward thinking and stress everyday skill sets that aren't being adequately taught.

        Know that learning cursive doesn't have a similar effect? Do we really want to chance it?

        Again, my point is to prioritize learning in a more meaningful way: language and everyday, usable skill sets are more important.
