Change all education standards that involve cursive to become typing standards.

Created by M.H. on February 20, 2013

As many of you know, cursive is a dying art, while computers is the future of our job market, I'm not saying schools should abolish writing entirely but just get rid of cursive. A typing class is a great way for students to be able to improve their chances in our job market. For example, a legal secretary needs at least 60+ WPM to excel at their job, while hardly any jobs need cursive.
In the 1940's all first grade students were required to learn cursive. This is still a out-dated education benchmark in some states which needs to be changed.
Imagine cursive being Latin, do you know anyone who actively speaks it? Most likely, you don't as hardly any one speaks it.
