How do you write English?

I heard interesting opinion from my friends.

She said, "Why do we need to learn to write cursive writing in English? Is there any chanse to use it? No. We mainly use usual block letter when taking notes. Otherwise, we just use typing. Maybe we use it only when we signing. hahaha. That's the waste of time."

Interesting.

I remember my English teacher in high school always tried to use cursive writing on the black board, but we, students, said to him, "Teacher, I can't read it", kind of like that, he said, "O-kay....damn, you guys didn't learn how to write cursive writing in English. That is because the curriculum of English in high school was changed and cursive writing is disappeared from it. It's kinda troublesome to write block type writing..."

But that's not true....lol

I just timed which is faster to take notes, but the result was almost the same.
Hahaha.

So, eventually, we don't need to learn how to write cursive writing smoothly. It's obvious, cauze even native speakers say, "That's waste of time".
The only chance we use cursive writing is when we signing. That's really few.

MEXT sometimes, (rarely, though) makes "right" decision on curriculum.
