Would not teaching kids cursive writing even matter to the development of a kid's education as much as teaching a kid the ability to learn & absorb information + practicing technologically relevant skills?
Cursive writing seems to be turning into an archaic form of written communication since there's no need for such a skill in the digital age where someone can write up a sentence by typing something on a LCD screen & even plain old writing is more than sufficient enough for written communication on a piece of paper.
That being said?
It is a bit concerning that the necessitiy of physically writing down something on a piece of paper will slowly decrease (taking notes on a tablet in school via typing it instead of writing it) & the necessity for the ability to read large chunks of text will also decrease since "why read a huge book when you can watch a video of that same topic online?"

I guess I look at cursive like a rite of passage. I remember being eager to learn it in the 3rd grade because my older sister knew it.
It's not just writing/reading skills, etc. I believe a decline started in my generation of learning practical skills. If suddenly, everything was gone. The future looks bleak. My dad's generation, almost all of them could live off the land. Just a mere fraction of mine could and I think each generation declines.
My grandfather lived through the Depression and had to have a job at 6 so his family could eat. So when his first child was born he started a farm with gardening and cattle. He taught his sons to work it and they were required to keep it running since my grandfather was a lawyer, later a judge. Then when the youngest graduated college, he immediately sold all his livestock. My dad questioned him about it since was my grandfather's proudest accomplishment. He said they served their purpose. He knew all his kids could survive if they ever fell into the position he did.
I hate thinking we as a society could fall into such despair again, but if we did, we are screwed. They say weak generations create strong generations and strong generations create weak ones.

When the time it takes to type up a paragraph on a keyboard is much shorter than the time it takes to write something on a piece of paper, typing would become the most convenient method of "writing" something out.
After years and years of being out of practice with skills that don't require significant amounts of mental (not necessarily physical) concentration, you wonder why these kids start developing ADHD...

No, not exactly, but I have an issue with people born with XY chromosomes playing in female sports.
Sadly, the state of liberal cities isn't something made up but created by the politicians they elected to be in charge.

Oh, I didn't answer the question. But, more like the ridiculous accommodations people expect just to live. Complain about not having enough free-time, which once didn't even exist and the only reason it does now is because the people who worked their lives away so the future didn't have to.
I think it's a much bigger issue. Kids are taught that they are the most precious, important person in the world and that others are evil if they don't bow to them. They don't have expectations for themselves but expect everyone to contribute to their livelihood and even be responsible for their feelings and mental health.
My humble opinion. If someone offends you or hurts your feelings, that is more of your problem, not theirs. Btw, you in a general term not suggesting you feel this way.
