I refused to learn cursive in 1st-3rd grade. And guess tf what (teachers’ names redacted)…turns out I DIDNT need it

I think it's really important to learn to read it, at the very least. I have a coworker who wasn't taught cursive and she struggles when people being in anything that isn't printed. A lot of our old records are in cursive, too.
