Interesting point of views! My teenagers don't know how to write in cursive and aren't interested in learning. They feel it is pointless, and in reality, I don't know that it is essential anymore. But I feel a bit bereft that kids aren't learning how to write in cursive. Personally I find that I can write much faster in cursive than if I print. Perhaps it was that 2 months we spent learning how to do it in second grade.
