Imagine you are getting married. You say “I do”. Next, they need your signature, but oh no, you don’t know how to sign your name because nobody taught you. Next thing you know, you are living in your parent’s basement because you can’t get married and now you are going to die alone. At night, one thing you always say is “I wish they taught me how to write cursive at school”. But guess what, that is not possible because schools are not teaching cursive anymore because they say it is not important! But in my opinion, it helps your brain, people just like how it looks, and most important, you need it for when you are an adult. You need to sign many papers and read important documents. So in my opinion, I think cursive is important and should

    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.

I struggled with trusting others, time management and battling multiple tasks at once. Luckily, I had a lot of practice throughout the year. For instance when we had to record a News Show for Mr.Mora's class, I was faced with all of these problems.…

    Should Cursive still be Taught In Schools People might think it is out dated for cursive to still be taught in school, as technology is taking over the world. Yes technology is everywhere, but we still need to know the basics of writing before we can be able to construct a proper sentence or paragroph, hence the reason why it is so important and essential for it to still be taught in school. Firstly, its good when students dont have to depend on the computer to auto correct them. If they should make a mistake they will know exactly how to fix it, because when in exams they might be required to do it without the computer and without it they may not know if they are doing it correctly which will causes them to fail.…

    Being a high school student is composed of restless nights, and eight exhausting hours of classes in which you are obligated to stay awake in. A normal school day begins with me snoozing my alarm about ten times before my dad walks into my room telling me the dreaded “time to get up for school” reminder which I just take as a suggestion. Normally I will drag myself into the bathroom about ten minutes later to begin my routine. I spend about 40 minutes in the bathroom preparing myself for school and by the time I am done it is usually time to grab all of my things and barely catch the bus. Now this has to be my least favorite part of the day.…

    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.…
