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.

In my opinion, the pros of learning to read and write cursive, far outweigh the cons. In researching multiple articles on the subject, I have found that there is much more data and information that supports the idea of cursive writing being more helpful than hurtful.

First of all, the article states that " Even when studens in the experiment were given a week to study thier notes, thoes who took notes on a laptop preformed worse on a test than students who wrote thier notes by hand."

Neither typing nor printing involve communication better both sides of the brain." What I gather from this quote is that it pushes the brain to become strong in thinking by using

I am against cursive because, we should be learning how to use keyboard’s. Keyboard’s are the new way for almost everything whether it be texting, work, communication, some school work, games, news, books and movies.
