        The advent of the typewriter didn't obviate cursive, why should a computer or phone? One has to crawl before walking.

        the problem now is with all these mandated common core requirements, teachers don't have time to teach cursive!

        Very important concept for all children to learn is to read and write using cursive.

        Hand-eye coordination. Yes. Also: personality. Can't have a signature anything unless you have a signature! #howaboutautographs

        cursive? Ok. Teach children how to "respect, manners, behave & not kill or hurt your classmates" is also needed!

        Kids should learn how to write, and they should learn about capital letters and proper punctuation. Also, "your" vs. "you're".

        if the main reason of support is to have a signature, why can't parents teach that?? Just one more thing put on teachers

        As an English teacher who actively teaches it, those who are worried about time & resources shouldn't. It doesn't require much.

        And why? What's the goal? And why cursive, in particular? Why not calligraphy?

        About freaking time. My 5th grader can't write cursive properly. Had to put her in private school, due to lack of public school.
