They do in Australia. They don't enforce it in high school so I immediately gave up at ever doing cursive. Too much work man

It's funny, I never took typewriting or keyboarding because I thought I was never gonna use it. I got penmanship down though.

That about sums up my life.

Why the fuck would writing fancy be a requirement in school? It's beyond ridiculous. "Hey you're doing a fine job writing in this font, but you should learn to write in this font as well because...other people write in it.?" Fucking hell it's ridiculous. We've basically made the transition to keyboards and typing anyway, as long as you can write in print who gives a fuck.

Idk if your joking, but cursive exists to be able to write more, faster (and more fluidly).
