While I might tend to agree just for the discipline of learning purposes, I'd prefer to not a give a damn one way or the other. My Mom had simply beautiful handwriting. She wrote very quickly but the letters flowed with some flourishing embellishments while still being eminently readable. I tried that for years and never could do it. Eventually I became a very fast and competent printer using all large case letters just making the caps bigger.

At one point in my life when my signature had turned into a poorly done scrawl, I came into a job position that required my signature all the time, often a hundred or more every day. The scrawl soon became a faster scrawl ala your favorite Doctor and that's what has become my signature.   You might possibly see the idea of some large P's and maybe two small t's but the whole thing is pretty dubious but hard to copy as well.

The discipline of readable writing needs to be taught but overall it will be of little importance to kids growing up in this world.
