Americans: Why do I need to learn it when I can just type?
The World: It's literally just writing. You don't want to learn how to write??
My kids are learning cursive and I'm glad they are doing so.
But one of the main point of cursive was to be able to write more quickly, and typing has absolutely replaced that need, many times over. And also you learn print first, so not learning how to write cursive doesnt mean you don't learn to write.
Ironically, your post is supposed to be insulting Americans for not being smart, but God damn is the point fucking stupid and ignorant.
We don't learn "print" at all in Europe, so cursive is a synonym for writing here.
You should specify which country since other Europeans are disagreeing with you
Which ones? I'm from the UK and it was the norm there. I'm seeing lots of comments not understanding how you could not learn it.
I'm seeing articles about Norway and Finland phasing out the practice recently, but its the same article that states the benefits of cursive on the brains ability to learn (from a Norwegian study).
