Should Cursive Handwriting Still Be Taught?

I was taught that the same year I broke my wrist. All I really use it for now is signing my name.

It is still useful to know to write/ read it. I agree that typing should also be taught.

Chime--I agree with posters who say it's a useful skill. We had handwriting taught by our teacher in school.

I wonder why schools don't include calligraphy-Now that is an art form and I always wanted to learn it.

When it comes to my own writing I tend to start with cursive, slip into print and back to cursive and most of it indecipherable. I should have been a doctor

. There are so many subjects being lost now including history which is a shame. I remember having to tell my niece who Adolf Hiter was, she had no idea.

I write my songs in cursive. But when writing a note to someone I tend to print just in case they can't read my handwriting.
