Cursive writting is indeed beneficial to a student's mental development, and therefore; should be thaught in school. Replacing cursive writting with typing and technology will do more harm than good to the student. I typing believe it will minimize their ablity to process and retain information, and is therfore essential to one's learning development. As a student myself, writing my notes by hand helps me process the information as well as remembering it as I write it down. There is no boubt…

Cursive writing is a viable part of education and brain health. Having the ability to write in cursive helps not only with medical documents, school documents, and simple bank signatures, but it also makes your mind stronger, and more diverse when writing anything down. I believe that cursive writing should be in the educational system. Growing up in a society where people always have to do some sort of paperwork, this becomes a needed factor for writing skills. Wouldn't you rather have you…

Should we let cursive die? Should it become a relic of the past. Should it be replaced just as a quill gave way to pens and how typewriters gave way to computers? In this day and age cursive is a useless skill but it is still something that is taught in schools. Cursive should no longer be taught in schools because it is unnecessary in a digital age, it takes time away from teachers to teach other topics, and it has no special values or benefits compared to other forms of writing This is…

Everyone hated 3rd grade when we would have to get out those worksheets with cursive writing. We never liked having to trace over those dotted cursive lines. Sometimes we would even try to skip class during that time, but we never knew all the good benefits we would get from writing for those 20 to 30 minutes. For example, cursive helps us develop fine motor skills and it reinforces learning. It can also help for signing legal documents. More importantly, it’s a cognitive exercise to keep our…

In society, there is always the desire to be “loyal to your sex” (Glaspell), to protect those that one relates to the most. In Susan Glaspell’s short story, A Jury of Her Peers, the characters personify that exact constant by protecting their peers, respectively, as a result of the historical gender segregation. To begin, the women in the short story are not friends, with the narrator of the story stating “She [Martha Hale] had met Mrs. Peters the year before at the county fair… she remembered……

In 2010, teachers came together to form the new common core, which was soon implemented across the nation. While it was acclaimed for its progress in the field of math, the handwriting aspect was written, forgetting cursive from the standards. Now, states, such as California and North Carolina, have gone against the common core by implementing state laws that require schools to teach cursive. These states are doing the wrong thing as cursive should be set to stone because of the greater…

Cursive writing has vanished throughout the past decade, as more and more people prefer printing or using word documents. This form of writing has been around for many years, however it seems as though it is becoming extinct in the modern era. Oftentimes, people do not realize the difference of cursive writing compared to regular printing. Adding on, the world is becoming more digital in the 21st century. Therefore, people use Microsoft Word and other programs to write their work. This form of…

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! First, I'd like to share a statement from the passage, "Cursive Is a Powerful Brain Tool," the writer states that, "cursive writing has been proven to be good for our minds!." Wouldn't teachers and people all over that are learning, want to teach and be taught a writing style,…

In 2011 the Common Core State standards adopted by 44 states did not include instruction in cursive; many schools at that time were instead teaching “keyboard proficiency”. In recent years the amount of Ohioans who know cursive has decreased rapidly. With jobs requiring typing skills, becoming more common, teachers generally agree that typing class is more beneficial than a cursive class. In fact, the FairFax Education Association of teachers said that cursive handwriting is a “dying art”.…

Imagine being able to write in beautiful connected loops, and be able to write faster. You would be able to have dotted, and beautiful descriptions which would let you have longer sentences.

First, cursive writing helps you show your identity, by signing your name. Also, you will be able to create more detailed and creative sentences. Lastly, you will be…
