What was the point of learning cursive in school?

- Senior Year, When you get to college you're going to have to study 3 hours for every hour you're in class. I'm sorry but no one does that. There are people that study a lot but no one goes to class 15 or 18 hours a week and then studies for 45 to 54 hours outside of class during that same week. Except for people that are literally addicted to studying and academics.

3 hours of studying for each hour of class to do well? - College Confidential

Also teachers "lock the door right after class starts" so people who are late are forced to miss class. I didn't have a single teacher that did that.

I've done that. It was only once or twice for particularly troublesome folks. I haven't done it often.
