[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of schools have eliminated it because it’s very rarely used.   Maybe learn to read it but it’s so tedious and unnecessary to learn to write it. [/quote]

Disagree.  It it extremely beneficial for brain development.  It helps activate neural pathways that optimize overall learning. California is now requiring it to be taught in schools once more due to increased evidence of benefits. Kids are harder a harder and harder time focusing overall even though school work is becoming easier and more automated.  Cursive should come back and be taught everywhere, starting at an even younger age, to optimize the learning and brain development benefits.  My kids went to Montessori and learned it in kindergarten.  They still use it now in middle school when they write.
