    One of the arguments my 7th-grade English teacher said when telling me not to use cursive anymore was that it's actually quicker to write with standard print than with cursive because there are fewer strokes you need to make.

    And I heard the exact opposite. Cursive is faster because all lower-case letters flow from one to another, so you don't have to raise/lower your writing implement as much. It's all relative to the individual.
