I know how to read and write cursive and I can hardly read those documents.
Seriously, with the awful handwriting cursive inevitably gets us, I'm not so sure losing it is a bad thing.
On a side note if reading the documents of our founders is so important, why isn't english our national language? It should be imo..
I can't honestly remember being unable to read cursive. I think these are exaggerations, anyone who set their mind to it could do it easily enough, especially a child.

Congratulations Teachers - the next generation of children won't be able to READ any of the documents of the history of the United States. It will be a Foreign Language.

Once I had a job where everyone was required to sign into a book and record the time we started work.
I never learned cursive numbers myself.

Just tell them it's a different font. The letters aren't so dissimilar that someone couldn't figure them out.
Well maybe except the weird Q and Z.
So we stop doing things because it is hard?

I promise, on this day, on this site, a vow.
I will slap the taste out of any morons mouth who ever says to me that they, "Can't do cursive."
WTF?
Is it that it's hard? Is it that it requires practice?
I pity the future. "Idiocracy" is real.
