Does anyone still write cursive?

[Anonymous]

I'm sad this isn't being taught anymore. I was taught to write in cursive and still do...it's so flowy and neat even if you're taking dictation! DD isn't interested in her penmanship because typing skills are all she needs, but I'm sad to see this fade away except as a hobby for some people.

Of course it’s still taught, just not where you live.

It's taught in Montessori school, but that's probably about it.

Some private schools. I haven’t heard of any public schools that still do it.

It’s the only way I write. My kids taught themselves

I do because it's faster. I WFH so nobody besides myself sees my notes.

All three of my kids learned cursive in their FCPS elementary school.

My niece is learning it in private school in 1st grade. I haven't written in script since I graduated from high school. I never really got the hang of it to be honest, and my print though poor, has always been more legible than my script.

Taking dictation? That would be a useful skill for 1953.

I can write cursive but I never do anymore. Everything is electronic.

in my child's catholic school they are teaching it. during covid there was a gap when new students arrived and had no experience. but I am glad she's learning to write and read in cursive.

I do it every day. I take notes during meetings in cursive. Then I'll edit/transcribe before I send them out. I can't present and type notes at the same time.
