Printer, Typewriter, Handwrite?

I hear that cursive is going away in schools, and I wonder what that means for signatures?

It has always seemed to me that signatures were more scribble than script anyway

On the other hand I'm not even keyboarding this, I'm dictating it into my iPad's microphone and editing for punctuation...

Yes as long as you refrain from calling your iPad "Sally the stenographer"! I do it too on my smartphone. I just hate editing it though.

Our district still teaches cursive in 3rd, 4th and 5th.

It as important for my sons to learn to READ cursive since their piano teacher writes their weekly practice assignments in cursive. I would imagine most kids have older relatives that send birthday cards with cursive notes.

I've heard that here in MI they've started teaching cursive again, after a lapse of 15+ years.

During the "lapse" period, a sister of a friend of mine tried teaching it in her elementary school class and she was reprimanded, as it wasn't part of the approved coursework.
