    I actually learned Sütterlin in school, not as the standard but as an alternative cursive.

    I already hated cursive, having to learn another and on top of it outdated writing system was the first of many ways schools wasted time I have experienced.

      Yeah, I hate how they insisted you do it their way with surgical precision when your own way is legible too.

        We had a course in elementary school called “fine writing” or “beautiful writing”. Mandatory, of course. I was completely fine with “legible”.
