whyyyyy do we need cursive anywayyyy

[reading-wanderer]

Most people don’t even use cursive for signatures. Eventually, they all just dissolve into squiggles.

Plus Some people’s cursive can be pretty unreadable even when they do put in the effort.

I was taught cursive, told I would need it in high school when we started writing essays.

Teachers didn’t accept anything in cursive. By the end of highschool teachers were not accepting hand-written essays and everything had to be typed. Though, they assured me cursive would probably be a thing in university because you have to write essays in class sometimes too and wouldn’t have access to computer to type it up.

In university, we were warned, that cursive can be a faster method of writing, but harder to make legible when writing quickly. We were warned if the professor couldn’t easily and quickly tell what we were saying, it would count as not having written anything. This included in-class exam essays on a time limit. So no one used cursive.

So while I was constantly being assured that cursive would be very useful when I grew up, it only became increasingly obsolete.

Why would we continue to teach obsolete skills? Why waste the time?

That being said… kids are exposed to a lot of different fonts… some of which are cursive. I think they can figure it out.

cursive is more of an art form than it is a way of life now a days and i appreciate the beauty of the script but its not practical unless you can do it really well and quickly for anything school related tbh.

I learned cursive back when I was in elementary school and I haven’t had to use it since after middle school.

I can’t say personally because I don’t have the disability, but I’ve heard that learning cursive is helpful for those with dyslexia or dysgraphia sometimes because it makes the letters look less similar than plain printing. The lesser benefits are improved fine motor skills and neural connections that plain printing and typing do not hone.

One time in class we were talking about abortion and most of the girls talking were pro-choice and it was a generally calm discussion then one of the pro-life boys used the phrase

“if a girl is stupid enough to get herself pregnant in the first place-“

…he didn’t get to finish the sentence

[squided]

remember when you learned the multiverse theory and it was all like “theoretically, ANYTHING could happen” and you were all “haha thank god it’s just a theory and a timeline wouldn’t just go completely off the rails”? Well guys, we were wrong. Apparently, literally anything could happen at any moment and I will NEVER be prepared
