Some states are trying to bring cursive back into their school learning program, so that kids know how to use cursive. In my opinion, I think that cursive should still be taught in school today so that kids can have cursive to use if they get tired of using regular print in school. First cursive can help by taking notes faster so students will not fall behind and miss any of the notes need to take in college, Next cursive helps the left and right brain cells communicate better, lastly cursive is a skill that everybody will need to know for later in life. Also cursive makes the left and right brain cells work together so each side of your brain works better together. The brain cells working together can help because it can make think harder about stuff because of the cell communication.…
So, in my opinion I think cursive should be taught in school. First of all, cursive connects students to the past. Most historical writings are written in cursive including The Declaration of Independence. Also students can’t read important letters from history if they can’t read cursive. Finally, students would not be able to read their grandparents or great-grandparents letters if they still write in cursive.…
Cursive writing has been slowly fading away. It seems in the future cursive will merely be a thing of the past, but how is one going to read the Founding Fathers documents if they lack the ability to read and write in cursive. Cursive writing is an important skill; not only does it define motor skills, separate the literate from the non, shows professionalism, but it also looks elegant and nice. With new technology and harder curriculums teachers have taken a back burner to teaching students cursive.…
One reason cursive should be taught is because of reading important documents. Many kids can’t read important and historical documents because they are written in cursive. For example, The Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Emancipation Proclamation, and several more documents. In the article “Five Reasons Kids Should Still Learn Cursive Writing” by Katy Steinmetz it told about a family that went to National Archives building to see the constitution, when they got there the parents realize that their kids weren't reading it. The mother asked them to read it and they couldn’t, the mom was shocked that her kids couldn’t read cursive.…

Public schools should allow students to learn and write in cursive as a required part of curriculum because it helps students retain information, helps with motor-skills, and allows teachers to learn about disorders or brain injuries that students could have.

Neyda Borges is the author of “Why The Debate Over Cursive Is About More Than Penmanship”, an online article published in the StateImpact section of the NPR website. In this article, Borges discusses the debate about removing cursive handwriting from a school’s curriculum and whether or not it seems more than it is. She mentions how the real issue is not about teaching penmanship but that different socio-economic statuses affect many students in different ways and widen the “achievement gap.” She also argues that cursive is not the only thing that has been removed from the curriculum; other things such as learning grammar are no longer a part of it as well. Cursive is just one underlying symbol that leads back to one main issue: the advantages…
Cursive should still be taught because studies show that 50 percent of literacy is cursive and it’s a tool that you can apply and gives you more options. Some examples to show that cursive should still be taught today are, you can write faster, you will need to write a signature, and you are more literate if you can read and write cursive. Although some people think cursive should not be taught is because everybody says that we don’t have any time for it or that we already use technology. Well, yes we have the technology, but if we only know how to use technology, then what are we to do if we find something in cursive, suppose maybe a letter from older generations, if we can’t read it because we only knew how to type. That’s just some facts of why cursive should be taught today.…
I think cursive handwriting is not very important for someone to learn. The reason i say that is beacuse people live threw technology on a daily basis. We do not really need to learn the importance of cursive handwritting because, no one will need to really write anymore if everything is done threw technology. As the narrator stated in the passage "technology is moving at such a rapid pace that even keyboards may soon be in danger of extinction". Just knowing something like that most people cant even type as much as they should know how.…
Cursive When your grandparents send you a letter and the words look like SpongeBob’s writing. First cursive writing creates a connection for your two brain lobes. Cursive takes time from core classes, lastly cursive isn’t as valued in schools now. In my opinion cursive can’t compete with technology so people don’t have to write in cursive. First of all, some students won’t use cursive as much and forget the cursive.…
Cursive Writing Cursive writing should no longer be taught in schools. People do not use it for as many things as they use to in the past because the world is in a technological age. Everything is done by computers or tablets and it is not logical to use cursive writing anymore. Also, it is pointless for teachers to spend time teaching something that their students are never going to use (Pot).…
Imagine that some people were reading the Declaration of Independence, and they don’t know the first thing about cursive.

Imagine if cursive was still taught today in schools, how children would learn how to write their adult signature for in the future. Learning cursive would also help with 50% of literacy. Learning cursive would also help students take notes way faster than usual, with writing with print.

In my opinion, I strongly agree that cursive should still be taught in school today.…
