What's the point of teaching them to write in cursive if they won't have a chance to practice it? Say, it's a requirement to pass the third grade with fundamental in cursive. Then what? All essays are required to be typed up all the way through college. Peer to peer interaction is done with thumbing on the keypad or touch screen or via regular two handed keyboard typing.
I was taught how to write cursive. Hell, I used to be great at it. Eleven years ago when hand-written essays stopped being accepted. I don't even have to write often unless to fill out forms. Can I write cursive now? Like hell. My handwriting sucks.
