Why is cursive even taught?

696 views

It just makes other people’s writing harder to read. And do you really save that much time writing cursive vs in print? Like a few seconds at most. But a lot of us are taught cursive early in our lives. Why?

Fyi; this is a question about the practically of cursive, not calligraphy itself. I know a lot of cursive writing can be very pretty and readable, but most people don’t write like that

It’s more natural then block letters; our hands are not made for straight angle movement, so if you write a lot, it’s less tiring to keep it as one fluid motion. But if all you ever write is a handful of letters, then it makes no difference for writing. It’s also taught so you can read what people who write or wrote in cursive actually had written.
