For the first 6 months after my son was born I felt like any minute a real person was gonna show up at my house in a Benz and tailored suit and say "thanks for watching this baby for me while I was away for business. I'll take him off your hands and you can get back to playing with your magic cardboard game with pictures of dragons and wizards on it". That didn't happen and he's 4 years old now so it's become evident I'm on my own.

Given Lizzie's track record, maybe that's not too far-fetched.

I write in cursive if I’m writing something for my own benefit but use print if I’m writing on a whiteboard or somewhere else that other people need to read it. I prefer to write cursive but don’t want to force people to try to read it.

cursive sucks. Learn how to read it and that's enough. I got drilled on that poo poo as a 5th grader like "oohhh in high school people ONLY USE CURSIVE you gotta know this!!!" then of course in high school no one loving used that poo poo and if you did the teacher would tell you to re-do it because they can't read it waste of goddamn time. The fractions of a second you "save" throughout your life using it are more than made up for by the time explaining what you just wrote because even if you have perfect handwriting tons of people just can't read it and learning it in the first place. I imagine most people do some cross of cursive and print anyway. Who really does the letters all perfect and whatnot? Some of those aren't even faster to do than the print version.

Using cursive is nice because it's prettier. Letters should look good. Learning cursive is very important for developing fine motor skills, and leaving it out of the curriculum is one contributing factor to kids being so uncoordinated nowadays. Using phones and tablets for everything from the age of 4 is the biggest factor, of course.
