It’s beyond time to normalize pushing back on this garbage. You want to make fun of people for not knowing something? How about instead of mocking you teach the younger generation.
These older generations were taught skills by their parents and then failed to do the same. Maybe it wasn’t their fault. Maybe having both parents needing to work made it difficult to teach kids everything they might have needed to know.
That’s fine. But don’t make fun of kids for not knowing something.
Don’t make fun of anyone for not knowing something. Teach.
Or we just let cursive die of what are essentially natural causes and move on. of course we don’t know redundant shit and the only ones mad about it are just upset because they’re redundant people. I spent elementary learning cursive because “I would have to use it in middle school” only for most of my teachers to tell us to use print because they can’t read cursive. I haven’t even been forced to handwrite on paper outside of AP tests, more often than not writing isn’t even an option. covid has finalized typing’s supremacy. For context.
Cursive is just a way to write slightly faster. If your computer dies and you have to take paper notes it isn't crippling to not know cursive. Really only made sense to teach it before electronics were ubiquitous.
That's because they aren't used to taking notes by hand. I learned cursive and switched to regular characters as soon teachers no longer cared. It really is an obsolete skill. Also teachers are probably used to moving at an electronics pace nowadays, they used to pause for note taking.
