"I write articles on computers for a living, therefore nobody should learn cursive in school!"

We learned cursive with fountain pens.

I have a beautiful signature to boot as well. 😟

do they teach typing in schools? they should definitely teach typing instead of fucking cursive

it is a shockingly simple skill to teach

you young ones stay off my lawn

@Undead Mockingbird they also teach typing lol

@Unwound All schools teach typing.

but I at least have to *read* cursive every day

in a normal modern country

Is this a black thing again?

the best way to learn to read cursive is to learn to write it lol.

not my public school 🤔 was quite a bit back though

Honestly, Im surprised at the amount of people who can't read cursive

I like cursive. I don't wanna lose it. ;-;

plenty of more useful things to learn

Are they removing it because black people have more trouble with it?

@Unwound basically every public school here since the '70s has taught typing.

oh wow, good tbh.

cursive is a more basic skill than touch typing though

Maybe if they remove cursive, they can add anal sex morality 101 to their curriculum

and I know that I learned to touch type for real only when I actually tried

I had to pop in that mavis beacon cd into my windows xp machine and just type out that shit and get gud

when they tried to teach me in school, it was a disaster

well

I learned how to type neckbearding mmorpgs as a teenager

lol

very very few people follow the touch typing skills as they should be used

generally teaching anything as well, to be fair.

I heard on Colin Flaherty's channel that there was some affirmative action reason for them removing it or something.

I mean I learned typing from selling shit on runescape back in the day. hard to break old habbits 😉

100%

old school rpgs are the real typing class

@Unwound my mother was trained classically in touch typing, but she absolutely _smacks_ the keys

and her form is terrible

speed is OK though

man I NEVER use my left pinky

Maybe because she used a typewriter.

I use my pinkie for ctrl

thats it lol

lol but why though
