Why bother? Cursive is dying. My two adults can sign their names in cursive but it would probably take them ages to write a paragraph in cursive. It saddens me in some regards but I’m grudgingly acknowledging that it isn’t terribly important to the survival of civilization. I remember being somewhat appalled when my kids were in elementary school and cursive was only on the curriculum for a month or two. I thought that I should teach them myself and also thought it would get revisited with them at school at some point. It wasn’t.
I *could* write beautifully in cursive but now I tend to do some mish mash between cursive and print writing.
The point of cursive (IIRC) was to reduce the number of times one needed to lift a pen from paper. Not saying there’s no validity to that but…
I was thinking about how much writing I do in any given month. I don’t do a lot but if I wanted to I could probably do almost zero.
