On the other hand, I suspect that when cursive is dropped from the curriculum, an equal amount of time for printing script must replace it because students cannot print legibly yet.
If the same information can be conveyed in print as in cursive, then why is cursive important?

It already has been dropped from my brother's school. That's why he doesn't know how to do it.
