    To be fair, it’s trivially easy to learn cursive and it’s basically always been an extension of penmanship.

      I’ve never been in a situation where penmanship mattered. Typing skills on the other hand are abysmal across the board and hamper my coworkers constantly.

              I’m really confused by all of these not being on the curriculum. I went to secondary school in the 90s in the UK. I had learned joined up writing in early primary school (which was what you used to write essays and coursework) and I had both an electronics class where we soldered circuits and IT class where typing improvement games were available.

      Great, learn it yourself you’re interested. Don’t force it on kids over subjects that actually matter to them.
