We're having a debate in my office. Where do you come down on cursive writing being taught in school or used in the workplace? I wasn't taught cursive, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

At best it’s used as a signature. Print is completely fine

I think that ultimately cursive isn’t needed. However I do believe that cursive helped to increase the thought process in the brain. Im close to 40 and so I’m in a group where I’ve had to do things by hand and now of course am able to use technology for everything. I think that cursive is one of those things that had indirect benefits im life that now have been lost. As long as that was replaced with something else then my view is that it isn’t needed.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, but my kids still learn cursive and I'm glad they do. Kids learn lots of things in school that they don't remember even two months later, at least something like cursive will serve them well for signing their names and maybe be able to read historical documents for themselves someday. It does seem kind of sad to me that people could look at the declaration of independence and not be able to read it. And wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone sent you a handwritten letter someday (or you found old letters in your grandparents' attic) and you had to ask someone to read it to you?

No one uses it anymore so don’t see the point of it being taught really. If you want to manually write something, you can just print. Unless you think it makes your signature more distinctive

Teaching cursive is just boomer shorthand for “I don’t like that everything I learned in school is irrelevant now”
