What use is there for cursive? I take notes...because it means I will likely remember what I’m hearing....and I can write very fast (cursive)....but, then I can type probably about 100+ wpm, too....both skills can be useful. But, I don’t think we need to spend a lot of school time on either one. (I made my teenage son take a summer typing class in the 1980’s)

Then you should learn shorthand if you take a lot of notes. It’s faster. Cursive is bloody slow and quite frankly often the person who wrote it can’t read it.

Typing is a far more useful and universal skill.
