Why is cursive bad? Is writing in cursive faster?

Cursive writing isn't inherently bad, but opinions about its utility have shifted over time. Here are some perspectives:

Legibility: Some argue that cursive can be harder to read, especially if not written clearly. This can be a concern in situations where clear communication is essential.

Changing Education Standards: With the focus on typing skills and digital communication, some education systems have de-emphasized teaching cursive in favor of other skills.

Individual Preferences: Some people find cursive faster and more fluid for writing, while others find printing or typing more efficient.

As for speed, cursive writing can be faster for some individuals once mastered. The continuous flow of cursive letters and the ability to write without lifting the pen can increase writing speed compared to printing. However, this varies from person to person, and proficiency in cursive can affect its speed advantage.
