TopicShould schools still teach cursive writing?

I'm not sure, but I always hated it. I think we generally all use a sort of hybrid printing + cursive, which is actually what is the fastest, don't we? Actual "cursive" is so artificial. it seems more like one should learn printing and then some additional useful shortcuts, which is more what we really write like.

like if we write "ea", then ok yes, the 'e' flows into the 'a'*, that's natural and makes sense. but writing 's' that looks nothing like an 's' just to make it flow, and 'n's with 2 humps and 'm's with 3 and that weird way you're supposed to write 'r's, none of that makes sense, it's just artificially imposed.

(* well a normal 'a', not like the ones in this font)

and then capitals make even less sense since they're not meant to be connected anyway IIRC, so they are even more artificial.
