I don't understand.
I've heard folks say if kids aren't taught to write in proper cursive they won't be able to read historical documents. I can't form my letters properly in cursive but I can certainly read it. Most of the letters are very obvious anyway. My mother has no issue and she wasn't even exposed to it at all in school.

I haven't heard that argument before. I always thought the reason was because it's faster to write in cursive.

We were taught to print, and to write in cursive, from quite an early age, (I also attended Catholic School), and there was an exceptional amount of pressure on doing it perfectly. In fact, we had an entire class in Penmanship. It's easier to write in cursive for some things, (but I can print rather swiftly as well), but even now, the only use for writing seems to be when you sign electronically for your charge card, and even then, any type of scribble is acceptable.

There used to be books like that on England that would teach children how to read. It's really weird.
