There is nothing wrong with having learned cursive in the past but learning it in a modern era is pointless.
Student now need learn in the real world. Like with technology. These days people are on there computer typing essays like me and won't think twice about typing it rather than handwriting it.
I never learned cursive because fourth grade was a real strugle for me. I felt like my teacher was forcing us to learn cursive which only made it even harder to learn it. The only thing that would go threw my head was that it would take me longer to write out a sentence in cursive when i would be able to write three in my handwriting.
These were my thoughts on why i never learned cursive. Many students can't read or write cursive and is pointless to learn. This is also why i think cursive shouldn't be a required curriculum at
school.
