      Welcome to why so many people hate it. You’re taught it, it’s an awful experience, and then you never use it again.

      We may as well teach slide rules and abaci.

          Skipping, of course, that cursive is a technical skill and not cultural knowledge.

          Cursive lacks technical value, and if there’s a pointless technical skill that most teachers seem incapable of teaching maybe the answer is to cut it from the curriculum.
