Cursive

At the federal level it hasn’t been a core school requirement since 2010.  Less than half the states require it in school at all.  It seems irrelevant in these times of laptops, smart phones, and tablets.  Who needs to write by hand anymore?

That brings a question to my mind.  Every legal document we sign has those two lines:  Print your name here.  Your signature here.  If a kid doesn’t know how to write in cursive, as an adult how are they going to sign a document?  Are the print line and signature line going to look exactly the same?
