@3967703f @0e7dc019 @1336114a @e59df6f1 @e9dfee67 @242b83c8 In young people's defense, plenty of them are interested in cursive and/or penmanship generally! Schools, however, have made the decision on whether it's important or not for them, and it has to become a hobby if they want to learn it. And that narrows the window of participation considerably.
