Poll: Should we STOP teaching cursive handwriting in school?

Should we STOP teaching cursive handwriting in school?

YES! Stop the madness! It's useless to learn cursive! We already have computers!

NO! Don't stop! Tradition is tradition! If I went through with it, all children should too! It can make you write faster!

Well, maybe we can teach them to only READ cursive, not write, as there are still SOME people out there writing in cursive.

I don't care what we teach children to write. They can write in alien, so long as it is clear and legible.

I don't understand the question/don't know what you're talking about/neutral like switzerland.
