Cursive?

My own handwriting ended up being a mixture of both. (I'm a leftie) If a child has serious trouble learning it, fine, drop the subject to spare needless frustration, but otherwise? Sure! Yeah, it's so speedy that it's commonly illegible. I'm pretty sure when people talk about "chicken scratch", they're not talking about print. 
Cursive is still taught in schools, my daughters love writing in cursive. It is very artistic in nature, but I would dare say we all use it when applying our signatures (or at least some base form depending on how often you need to sign things). My older daughters are even getting in to calligraphy. They find it "pretty"
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
Signatures are very cool. And yes, mostly cursive in nature, though not confined to a particular "typeset". In sentence-writing, for whatever reason, I find it cumbersome. Print all the way.
I guess at the end of the day, legibility is what needs to be first priority in that area of education. If that means cursive for some, fine.

It took me 3 pages of this thread to figure out what cursive was ._.
I write in half cursive....does that count? I was taught early in school that way but we weren't really forced to do it afterwards  RE: Cursive?
