Should cursive writing be taught in schools or not? In my opinion I believe that cursive writing should absolutely be taught in schools. The first reason is because like the article says writing by hand helps process the material better , also summarize ideas rather than simply recording everything.

By the 1980’s American children were receiving little handwriting training while across the…

between keeping or removing cursive handwriting is one I have had multiple times with my two children when they have come home complaining about their schoolwork. I firmly believe that it no longer has its uses outside of school in todays society. As author two stated in paragraph 3; "The truth is that cursive writing is virtually gone.

Just like article 2 stated, cursive isn't really needed for much other than a written signature but as technology increases the use of a written signature is more irrelevant due to approval of electronic signatures. I do believe cursive handwriting is becoming less…

we should teach cursive because in the future you will have to sign a bill or a check. And you will have to sign it in cursive and some people. Might still need a little help with cursive and then that will help a lot in the future. The reason we should still teach cursive is that you might have a little sibling that needs help with cursive. then they might ask you and then you would have to tell them to ask the mom or dad.

Teaching cursive writing in public schools is a heated topic amongst teachers and has been debated for several years, but it is clear that cursive writing should not be taught to students in this new progressive generation. Although supporters of teaching cursive writing have brought up that it stimulates more parts of the brain than typing does, that is not enough reason to waste the time of students who will almost never use that knowledge again. Cursive writing is almost nonexistent in…
