If today's students do not learn cursive writing how can they read historic documents such as the Declaration of Independence? What about old letters from their ancestors that are family memorabilia? I have a collection of love letters I received while dating several women. They mean a lot to me. They are ALL written in cursive. I cannot imagine they would bring up the same feelings in me if they were printed.

What a tragic loss!
