I talked about this subject many years ago here on the Mason Minute. Cursive writing is something they no longer teach in most schools. My wife and I were discussing this just the other day. Because of the computer and tools like email and text messaging, cursive writing seems obsolete. Back in my school days, very few males took typing classes. Now, thanks to technology, everyone knows how to type soon after they learn to spell. But while much of the talk is about not learning to write in cursive, I wonder, can young people read something written in cursive? That's a big question...
