Last night , before bed, i was writing some random thoughts down and decided to use cursive. This was only to find myself completely confused and bewildered. I DO NOT remember a Capitol Q being a fucking 2 in cursive, but sure enough it is. It's amazing what i had to look up to remember, but you hardly ever see cursive. Some college professors actually suggest you not right in cursive as it's "harder to read". And now that i think about it, learning to write in cursive was a total waste of my time. I imagine they still teach it today as well. I personally couldn't care less if my child is taught cursive. They'll never use it, teach him or her to type about 100WPM with 0 errors and how to use the calculator on their cellphone. They will actually use that. So in conclusion elementary school wasted 6 years of my life. They should have stuck me on Oregon trail from 8 to 3 , at least then I'd know more about dysentery, hunting animals, and all the ways you can cross a river.

yeah eff cursive. I spent many a recess having to catch up on this bullshit, instead of enjoying my youth. And all of those teachers who said we'd HAVE 2 know it to succeed in our lives, eff them too. I concur, what a waste.
I totally agree, a complete waste of time. If they'd focused more on regualar print, maybe my writing wouldn't still look like a fucking third grader's. Cursive made me curse in grade school, hated it then, hate it now. I don't think I've used it since. Oh well, at least I got out before KERA or whatever and those lame ass portfolios!
in argument...i believe cursive is an excellent form of art. i mean, if i ever want to write with a quill, cursive is the way to go.
I always like shorthand...but they quit teaching it before I got to highschool
