Cursive is beginning to come back but it was a white man’s thing. That’s one reason they stopped teaching it (there are others) but, as a logical follow up, we have racially biased history and now the white man’s math that insults black youth to insist that they learn it. So they don’t.
Our nation will not survive this insanity intact.

My wife, a teacher, taught our daughter cursive and her penmanship became a point of pride. We gave her a couple of reasonably priced fountain pens and she started exploring different colored inks and paper that was a better quality than the laser packs at Wally World. Her high school class mates couldn’t read this secret code but the teachers in English and History type classes loved her papers written in flowing, inked cursive.
Texas is bring cursive back to our schools and, according to this article, another dozen or so schools are as well. We currently have a generation or two of citizens who cannot read the Constitution, Federalist Papers, and other founding documents.
Hell, they can barely print, leave along write cursive. They’re too lazy to tap a keyboard, so they have “Speak & Print” & they can’t enunciate properly, so what shows up has misspelled or the wrong words altogether in their communications. What we’re ending up with is a bunch of A.O.C’s.

“New: Code To Fool Any Millennial”
CERTAINLY explains why NONE of them have ever read the Constitution, or any of our OTHER founding documents! 😳

Orwell said to limit the number of words in a language and you limit the number of thoughts a person can conceive. True.
Limit their ability to communicate what they can think to an absolute minimum, and you end up at the same place.

Kinda off topic – My teenage Grandkids cannot read a clock (the ones with hands).

In general communication is disintegrating. People avoid conversing on the phone and will text instead. When they do have a conversation it’s usually about themselves and they won’t listen to a word you say and will talk right over the top of you. It is so annoying I’ve cut off numerous relationships because of this.

@Ar-Mo, My mother now lives in Ontario Canada. After a certain age they require you to take tests to retain your drivers license. One of the tasks is to draw a clock with the requested time on it. I asked her if anyone thought of doing a digital rendition?

My grandson is in college and he can not read cursive. Its like a code talker script for him.

They are in the awkward place where cursive is relegated to obscurity and Siri is inept. Add in some thumb repetitive motion injuries and they will rendered silent.
Given that their mouthpiece is AOC, perfect!

I can read cursive, but I am terrible at writing it. Once the bumps in M’s and N’s intersect U’s and I’s it turns into a mess. The pen just keeps adding additional bumps all by itself. A word like LUMINOSITY would be indecipherable if I wrote it.

My granddaughter took a summer camp in cursive. She’s in 2nd grade this year. I’m giving her a beginner calligraphy set for Christmas. My daughter has beautiful cursive. She helped for her college using her calligraphy skills.

I took notes in college back in the late 70’s and early 80’s in cursive using a fountain pen. And I wrote a lot of papers and blue book tests in cursive as well and my professors could read them as they were very legible. I still love fountain pens and the way they write. I wrote letters home when I was in the Navy in the 70’s in cursive and I still have them in a box after cleaning out everything from my mom and’s house after they both passed away last year. Since my kids know how to read cursive hopefully they’ll be able to read them in the future after I’m gone.

In the days before CAD, engineering drawings were done by hand. Lettering was block letters. I was really good (and fast) at it. To the point that today I never write in cursive; I’m not sure I still can.

The last year before my son graduated and started practice as the (“almost a real doctor”) eye doctor. I started a little book of thoughts and some family history to give him at graduation. And it was in cursive. We refer to it as “the little blue book.” Was a blank paged book of about 5″ X 7″ that was a substitute for those high end gifts that some others got.
He and his wife (another eye doc) have already surpassed anything materially that his parents have in their entire lives, so maybe the little blue book might get passed on…

Remember Travon Martin’s ugly girlfriend who could apparently WRITE him letters in cursive, but couldn’t READ cursive on the witness stand?

On their defense.., it’s difficult on a good day, to be able to write cursive, with their collective heads.., so far up their asses.., besides..”what’s a pen”?

Writing cursive is a skill. I remember practicing over and over again by copying the classic standardized cursive template. Eventually, I was able to master it and then develop my own unique cursive style, like every kid of the Boomer generation.
Millenials can’t be bother since they are drones to cyberspace that can be hacked, maniplated and terminated at any time. They have surrendered their autonomy to Big Brother and will regret it.

My seven year old son attends a private, Christian, “Classical” school and has been able to sign his name since kindergarten. He has some fine motor deficits and the penmanship practice has been a great exercise for him.
He can also tell time, the old fashioned way😁

How do they sign their names on contracts or applications? That’s sad.
I love cursive. It’s easier for me than it is to print. I would never be able to write a ransom note. LOL

Cursive? Foiled again!

I used to write in cursive, but when I worked for a doctor, I had to record patient information in their charts. Since my handwriting gets pretty bad when I rush, I started to print. Haven’t gone back to cursive since.

My memory may be faulty but I don’t remember having spent much time learning to read cursive. Most of the letters are so close to print that there wasn’t much challenge remembering them. Writing took practice but reading?
