How important is handwriting?

Do you remember learning to write?

I remember learning cursive, but I don't remember being taught to print.

At what age did you learn cursive?

It was in 4th grade. What age is that? I suppose 9 or 10ish?

Do you feel it is relevant in today's curriculum?

Basic printing skills, yes. You still have to jot notes to your family when going out the door, sign a quick message in a birthday card, etc. I think it'd be hard to get by without knowing any kind of writing at all. Cursive though, no. It's outdated and serves no purpose.

Thanks
