Can't read cursive ???????

The more I think about this, I can't believe people are so eager to throw away a skill that is so easy to learn. The librarian who ordered me some books on teaching cursive told me that even teachers are dismissing it as no longer important. People need to think things through before making knee-jerk reactions like this.

what's knee jerk about it? It was taught until it ran out of its usefulness.

Why aren't you guys all upset about HS computer classes not teaching dos? dos is like computer cursive. Some of the greatest advancements in the world came from programs written in dos, and certainly learning to program line by line helps cognitive function. Now its fairly useless, unless you're at the IRS or do contract work for an antiquated company. So where is the hate and anger you all feel about the death of dos??
