I was taught to read and write cursive growing up going to a catholic private school. when I later moved to a public school and discovered I was the only one who knew cursive, I made quite a bit of money on the side by having my classmates pay me to forge fake hand written letters from their parents informing the school they were sick and would miss class.

@vitalis I was dissapointed by that class - because i went like 2 years over-class - then i looked in another guys notebook, and he had written like 4 words per line...so i had simply written too many...

The issue with cursive teaching is that they teach it for an hour every other day and for the rest of their lives kids never see cursive. Of course they won't learn it like that.
