i think they should still teach cursive because if they stop teaching the old stuff what are they going to stop teaching next? English? History? Even though you might not use it, it's nice to know how to write that way for your signature can't be copied as easily as in print.

i believe cursive should be taught because you have to use cursive in the junior colledges, and in some high schools, and if your taught it, and dont use it, at least your prepared for highschool, and junior colledge, and state or regular colledges, plus some jobs require cursive, so i disagree, cursive SHOULD be taught! and i dont use cursive, i dont like it, but it helps in colledge, highschool, and even jobs!

Cursive is still useful. Think of all the times one has to sign their name on documents; if you can't sign in cursive, it just looks silly. Granted, cursive is much sloppier for many people but still and nevertheless, it's an important part of society in terms of official documents and such. I myself don't have the best cursive, butfrankly i still find it useful to know. America is getting far too attached to keyboarding in my opinion anyways. I'm sixteen and though I love computers and typing and all that technology has to offer us, I don't believe it would benefit us in the long run if we were to cut out cursive. If nothing else, it's stimulating to the mind during the learning process.
