Through the years, many people have stated that cursive should not be taught in schools. Reading historical documents, personalization, and brain function involves cursive. Cursive writing definitely has a place in our digital society.

As pointed out by Penny Joy a curriculum coordinator of Plymouth Canton Community Schools, she quotes that “ normally she receives a lot more calls daily with parents asking her why her school continues to teach cursive than calls requiring that more time be devoted to teaching cursive writing”. She continues to say that “she sees no reason to continue teaching cursive in her school since they don’t have time for it”. They would rather allocate that time and resources to other industrious subjects and projects.

Some people believe that it that cursive is a waste of time and should not be taught. Not all people think that cursive is not used and does not need to be used, but some do. Technology is taking the place of cursive handwriting, with typing. Typing is very easy and legible. Some people assume that e-mailing and text is easier than cursive writing. Most people that mix cursive and regular hand writing tend to write faster. Cursive is not used very much and people may be losing a link from their past.

First of all, if people can write in cursive, they can sign their name on a bill or letter. Tom Zelinka recently said, “Cursive has become a small part of our curriculum therefore most children cannot read it.” That means in fifteen to twenty years these kids will not be able to sign their names. 82% of the children don’t know how to write or read cursive. In the future this gives their boss a reason to fire them.

Did you know cursive takes away core subjects like Math and Reading? Well, it does and that’s bad because that means you could make you less smart.

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you didn't have cursive, at ALL? Cursive should still be taught in school. Cursive can help you with your reading and writing skills.

I hope after you read my paper you will want to keep cursive too!

Cursive writing hasn’t been taught in schools for a while and will result in increased difficulties for students now and in the future. There are many things that involve cursive writing such as writing signatures or reading old documents. I think cursive writing should be taught because cursive inspires creativity, can be used as a tool, and develops motor skills for our brains. In my opinion, because cursive has many benefits, this form of writing should be taught in schools today.

Many students believe that cursive is extremely hard, but it takes time and practice. If you have to sign in cursive then why not learn it. In fact, Cursive isn’t only a way to write, but is a way of art. Many really important things are written in cursive. Though, cursive is hard to write it is better than print. Print is pretty much a waste of time. In fact, cursive takes a shorter amount of time than print.

In conclusion I believe that we don’t need cursive in schools. First of all kids are more impressed with technology to spend the time and neatness on cursive. The 20th century skill is not needed in these 21st century skilled classroom, but in these classrooms we just need normal handwriting also if u want your kids to learn cursive u spend your time on it teachers have to teach them normal handwriting enough.

The article’s, “Is It Time for Cursive to Die?”, written by Lauren Tarshis, and “Why I Keep My Letters”, written by Nina Sankovitch, both agree with different sides when it comes to us humans keeping cursive or not. Despite both articles giving good evidence to support their claim, I have come to the conclusion that the form of writing cursive should be preserved, not forgotten. One reason they cursive should not be forgotten is because of the history that comes from it. For instance, the article states, “Thomas Jefferson penned one of our country’s most famous documents, the Declaration of Independence, in glorious cursive” (Tarshis 19). This piece of evidence shows how some of the most important events in history used cursive, showing how

Personally, I think cursive is very neat, elegant, and rich looking and I believe it helps you get a good handwriting too.

Should cursive be put back in school? I agree with the passage "Cursive Is a Powerful Brain Tool". Cursive writting is essential,though not for the reasons people might guess. Cursive writting has been proven to be good for our minds. A couple of reasons why i agree that cursive writting is good for the brain are writing by hand helps people to remember ideas better than typing. Also, medical brain scans show that writing in cursive helps with motor-skills development and stimulates both the right and left part of the brain.

Additionally this shows that even librarians and schools don't think cursive is vital enough for it to be taught to us kids considering they take it out of there library's. In conclusion teaching cursive now would cause pandemonium and be unbeneficial because it would put people in different spots and confuse
