my son's teacher told us that it helped with developing fine motor control, particularly in children that had below average motor control.

For one, is this based on research or speculation? Second there are different kinds of motor control. Following an existing pattern or shape is one type, while cursive is another because one tends to develop patterns based on personal preferences.

Are the loops male, female, or something else? (ducks head in FL)

In 5th grade my teacher wanted to wring my neck because I was growing quite skillful in drawing and art, yet my cursive writing was worse than a drunk doctor's.

You don't need raw speed for notes, you need meaningful notes.

This is a skill that relies on hand writing and no amount of mad 2-finger typing skills replaces it.

Everyone from the trumpistan will need to know Chinese in about 10 years down the road if they want some income, be that a job or a pension.

FWIW, my most useful "STEM" notes are in hand-written cursive.

Let them also learn the most often-used 500 Chinese characters while they are at it.

Nice bunch of extreme lies you have there. Not any surprise.

Here is the first one: In actual reality, the industrial value of gold is not far from its market price. Typically about 50% of it. Do you really think it would get used in industrial applications if it was 100x more expensive than the value using it provides?

That comment is so dumb and disconnected, you are clearly just trying dishonest manipulation.

Well, maybe eventually it may make sense.

Obviously, Microsoft is prioritizing profits over everything, as usual.

I'm glad Oracle is keeping the async pollution out of Java. Java is more of a business or admin domain language, and less for systems software. You don't really need that for biz/admin coding, and there are ways to still implement for the rare cases.
