        @WSJ Although typing is an important skill that should be taught at an early age, cursive script is an art form that should not be abandoned

        @WSJ I learned how to write cursive, born '89, and use it more often than print. If it is taught and USED, it will be used later.

        @WSJ Though I struggled learning cursive writing as a child, the process & skills are worth it in multiple ways. So is typing.

        @WSJ people don't understand things are changing. We are now a computer/internet world. Period. Most businesses use computers anyway.

        @WSJ I teach calligraphy so I really hate to see this, I think handwriting is still necessary for signatures, note-taking, and replies.
