Printing was so rare.

What is cursive form?

Should children be taught script in school?
Well it matters. If you mean program scripting, some kids will need it in life (like me), and others won't. I think it should only be taught in tech classes. The need for teaching cursive is a subject of great debate and is likely to continue to be so. Many believe it to be arcane and prone to abuse (sloppiness) with age, but traditionalists believe children should be taught an appreciation for the written word as an art form. The prime focus in most schools currently is literacy--grammar, spelling, and legible handwriting that usually begins with block letters. Cursive is taught later. Given school budget cuts and the push to advance studies at earlier ages, cursive may be set aside as a matter of necessity.

Is cursive writing obsolete?
Research shows that the fastest and most legible handwriters avoid cursive. Highest-speed highest-legibility handwriters join only some, not all, of the letters -- making the easiest joins, skipping the rest -- and tend to use print-like forms of letters whose printed and cursive forms disagree.Learning to read cursive remains important, as long as anyone is writing in cursive -- but fortunately, it is far easier to learn to read any letter-style than to learn to write it. (I have taught five- and six-year-olds to read cursive if they could read printed books. If taught properly -- taking a few minutes per letter to show each cursive letter-form develioped from a simpler, older, and more legible version of the letter -- learning to read cursive takes anywhere from a few minutes to an hour: depending on the student's age and other factors. Even if it takes an hour, that means far less time than having to learn to write in cursive too.)
