Not teaching cursive stops people from researching their history.
So does not teaching Latin.
Tons of stuff was written in Latin, right up until the early 20th century. Heck, Parliamentary debates in Austria-Hungary were in Latin so as not to favour either German or Magyar! It filled the role that Esperanto was invented to fill, i.e. be everyone's "second language" to aid communications. And not all of it has been translated.
In the late 1960s "the powers that be" just decided to stop teaching it. And now all that material is magically inaccessible.
Just as they wanted it to be.
it sure does. that was the first thing i said to those kids mother is that they won't be able to read history with anything that is cursive.
'they' use the excuse that everything is digital now, so no need for cursive.
the kids now can't even write their names in cursive to sign anything, they print their names.
after the shock of it i then got pissed.
