I know that varies by region, but schoolchildren are generally taught cursive as a faster way to write. It already requires some memorisation with some glyphs being different from block letters. Why not make an additional step and completely replace it with shorthand, making writing an order of magnitude faster?
Upvoted, because I think it’s unknown, so unpopular. Though it sound like a good idea to me.
I’m curious to hear any drawbacks others find.
