Hey there. Junkies, I say this says someone who pretty much learned how to write cursive as soon as I learned how to write because I was required to write in cursive all of my school, assignments up until probably about the third grade or so. I don't think kids are going to get much use out of cursive. Except for being able to read historic documents. when that was the standard for legal documents, when that's when most people wrote in cursive all their letters to each other and whatnot, Reading historic documents is probably the only justification for teaching it still.
