Anyone remember in second or third grade when your teacher told you that when you're older you would have to use Cursive all the time? Well that's pretty much a lie. I mean the staff of elementary schools lie all the time to the students but having to use cursive most of the time when you're older is probably the biggest lie of them all.
I barely meet anyone that uses cursive to write on a daily basic, students or teachers. After wasting your whole entire year of third grade perfecting your cursive G's and S's in capitols you barely ever use it again. I remember having lectures from my teacher saying how we all have to learn this, it's very important, it's a very adult thing, blah blah blah, you get my point. What's ironic is that when she wasn't teaching us cursive she would write in print. Ironic much.
The only use for cursive are signatures basically. A lot of the times you can't even read some people's signatures, literally my doctor's signature is one big scribble. Who needs a whole year of learning cursive when you can just make scribbly lines? A three year old can make some scribbles and it'll still be accepted as a signature.
Though cursive isn't really useless, it's more just less used. It helps with a child's hand-eye coordination and to help write notes faster but a lot of people barely use it. Maybe it's just me but I think print is good enough.
