Cursive Is A Powerful Brain Tool

Cursive is a very beautiful form of writing, it is also very formal, we use it for all of our official documents! Cursive should be taught to public school children, as a past of required curriculum!

A differsnt style of learning, if it is good for our minds, that may help students think of different ways to answer questions on very difficult tests or

    I am in the position of supporting the requirement for learning cursive in school. I may be biased because as a child, in early grades such as first and second, I was taught both printing and cursive. I remember my second grade teacher allowed us to choose between printing and cursive to finish standard writing assignments; though when sending us home with assignments specifically designed for learning cursive, we were required to complete those in cursive. My experience with using cursive allowed me to find my own rhythm and artistic design of the letters, along with focusing specifically on the even flow of the words, forcing me to be precise and fluid so that they were legible to both myself and other readers. Using cursive was enjoyable,…
