Cursive in the News

Should we or shouldn’t we teach cursive writing in schools? Here is one of the very few news articles that makes reasonable sense: http://www.philasun.com/news/3604/34/Goodbye-cursive-writing.html

The graphics that accompany the article implies a bias that cursive belongs to our past, but the fact is that the media just picks stock photos to insert.

Of course the reference is to the conventional cursive, the one with loops for joining. Italic cursive has yet to make headlines. More on that sometime!
