To me, cursive handwriting reveals a deeper intimacy with written communication. It's almost like looking into someone's eyes when speaking.

@RogueLoner I never saw this until now.
That's something I haven't heard before. 😳

Because teachers are spending so much time brainwashing our kids to become social justice warriors, they no longer have time to teach both printing and cursive in school. They also can't teach the kids math. In about a minute, people will begin to wonder WHY we are dumping all that money into our public schools.

@SW-User Even home schooling is controlled by the materials the teachers unions SAY are a requirement. Because they have been working so hard to eff up public education and create a permanent ignorant lower class. They use the playbook of the educator communist Howard Zinn, who re wrote public education.

@4meAndyou Home schooling is not the same as just having a child school at home.
Home schooling leaves it all to the parents. We need to make sure the children learn the basics but we don't have to stop at that or teach what we feel is wrong for our children.
No teachers unions involved in my homeschooling.

@SW-User Glad to hear it!

Cursive lets you see the personality.
Also all important old documents were written in cursive and knowledge gets fast forgotten if you cannot even decipher the books.

I've been using cursive (also known as "joined-up writing") since I was about seven. But if people choose to print that's up to them. The point is to communicate clearly. My husband is dyslexic and often feels more comfortable printing.

@SW-User I don't see why it should be obsolete 🤔
SW-User
@Fluffybull Well, many are saying it's not needed to know how to write or read cursive anymore...no need to learn how.

@SW-User Oh people say a lot of things. Just read that bird flu could jump to humans and kill off 50% who catch it. Ho, hum.....🤷

Cursive writing is important and needed for national security purposes.

Before long, it will be the only fool-proof, totally secure encryption system! 😂
It's faster. But I don't write like I used to. I do everything online.
revenant · F
@Spoiledbrat true..way faster
i think it is good to learn, but, when writing, i prefer to print. i print way way more legible than i can write in cursive.

@ReptilianFromPlanetCrush My son is just the same. Even his printing looks like a little kid wrote it. Thank goodness for texting, huh? 🤣🤣🤣

It’s important when the grid goes down. It’s also important to know basic math without using a calculator.

I can do both, but i've never once in my life used cursive other than signing my signature.
Lostpoet · M
@SW-User But I don't know that even if I didn't learn cursive i'd still probably know how to read it. I actually had a friend that said he couldn't read things in cursive. The Carvers fast-food restaurant's sign is in cursive and he couldn't read it.

@Lostpoet You upvoted my comment with cursive. You know what it says?

@SW-User Heart is a very good fertilizer; anything we plant - love, hate,
fear, hope, revenge, jealousy - surely grows and bear fruit. We have to decide
what to harvest.

I don't understand how someone can't read cursive the letters still look very close to their Arabic style.
SW-User
@Lostpoet Yes. It's not mine but people say mine is pretty nice too.

@Virgo79 I don't expect everyone will have perfect penmanship, but still believe people will lose something important if they can't read or write cursive. A lot of our country's documents are in cursive.

@SW-User very true, they'll have to believe what ever story they're told if they can't read it themselves.
