We Should Cursive Still Be Taught Today
A good reason cursive should still be taught today is we need cursive to be able to read old documents and sign are name in cursive. First, cursive could be a skill that anybody can take on forever. Secondly, student can forget a life skill that is becoming a lost art. Lastly, cursive can be neater and faster if you are in a rush. In my opinion cursive should still be taught today.

First, cursive could be a skill that anybody can take on forever. Cursive is a tool that can be used later in life. In the first place people all around the world can use cursive forever and know how to read Cursive. Cursive helps people integrate people’s minds. That is why cursive could be a skill anybody can take on forever.

Secondly, Students can forget

    Summary Of Bonehead Writing By Craig Vetter

    Every skill that a person knows had to be learned at one time. Writing is a skill that every literate person has learned. When a baby is born, they only “know” the necessities to survive, but the things they “know” are not cognitive processes. Their heart beats; they breathe, but they do not have to think about either one of these things. Actions that require thought such as reading or writing are not known to them.…

    Cursive Continues In The Declaration Of Independence, By Thomas Jefferson

    Cursive has been used over many times in history years. Maybe even used way before that! About the adventure of Christopher Columbus, he wrote in his journal in cursive! The famous document in the USA today, the Declaration of Independence, was written in outstanding cursive by Thomas Jefferson. By many times in the modern world, cursive today is replaced by technology. Instead of taking notes by cursive, or by normal handwriting, students in college has defined that technology would be faster and it would take less time, but think about it. Our minds or brains need to function more openly to the outside world, not locked up in a very tight screen that would make your eyesight go away. Technology has some nasty curse, but…

    How Nietzsche's Writing Has Changed My Writing

    I always prefer writing in cursive than keyboarding. Because I think when I am writing on paper, I will have a smooth train of thinking for my writing. In addition, I enjoy the process of writing on the paper. I like to listen to the sound that the pen scratches the paper. However, when I am typing essay on the computer, I cannot write smoothly because I usually write some grammar faults in my sentences and the Word will digitally find the faults and display them. I do not enjoy seeing some dashes under my sentences. Therefore, I have to stop to write and correct the faults. Then, my train of thinking is interrupted, and I always fell upset about that. As a result, I prefer writing in cursive than typing.…

    Proper Grammar Accuracy

    When "The Nation's Report Card: Writing 2011" was published in 2012 only 24 percent of eighth and 12th graders were proficient in writing. That percentage needs to be higher; here's why. Proper grammar can help you in many way; like getting a job. Many people judge others based on their grammar. Also, many employees are getting fired because of their poor grammar. Grammar is still relevant in the 21st century because you need it to make money, find love, and keep a…

    Why Cursive Should Be Taught In Schools

    Cursive should be taught in schools because, they will end up using it everyday or close to everyday. Cursive is something that we should teach children in school. Later in their life they will need to know how to sign their name because not everything you put your name on can be in print. An example for when and why you would use it would be when you write out a check you have to sign your name at the bottom of it. You can not sign a check in print, you must sign it in cursive or the company that you would be filling out the check to wouldn't take it. The bank wouldn't take a check that is not signed in cursive. Writing things in cursive can be hard sometimes but just because you don't remember what it is or how to write it ask someone and…

    Cursive Is A Powerful Brain Tool Analysis

    Studies show that writing in cursive helps with brain injuries, which doesn't mean that we should "ALL" be writing in curisive. Its just means that its a tool that can be used to help people with brain disorders or individuals who suffer from brain injury. Cursive can be used as a tool not just a way to write. Not everyone feels comfortable writing in cursive. In my opinion, as long as you can read it and it looks neat, then there shouldn't be an issue. So should not writing in cursive define your…

    When Should Cursive Writing Be Taught

    They should keep teaching cursive because when students are taught in the way we wright on tests now in only one form of writing. They get only one chance to learn and memorize the letters. By having to learn cursive as well use students get another opportunity to fully comprehend the alphabet. Learning cursive also gives students a clearer understanding of how letters are formed, which will improve the cursive print writing as well.…

    Précis: the Death of English (Lol)

    To an extent the English language is suffering because of technology. Technology is not all the fault though. I feel that it is the fault of the society too because they have indulged text language in more than one setting. Whereas it should be kept in the phone realm it has drifted into homework and essays that are handed in for a grade in schools. I do not think that text language or any other short hand is bad if it is kept in an appropriate setting and not used as a substitute for spelling words in the English language. Text language is like hanging out with friends. In that setting you are comfortable and may not use proper English all of the time but the minute you step foot into a situation with someone of prestige (i.e. a professor) you began to utilize your knowledge for grammar and other important factors that help make up the English language. We just have to remedy the fact that people feel that text language or anything similar can be used anywhere by providing guidelines as to the appropriate use and the appropriate settings this short hand can be…

    I believe handwriting is important in all grades because students will use this skill for the rest of their lives. Handwriting becomes part of everyday life from the time you are taught it to the time you pass away. You will use handwriting to take notes, make grocery lists, do homework, take tests, and sign your autograph. Students will use handwriting in every subject in school. Everything from math to drawing to language arts will require the use of handwriting on a daily basis. (Spear-Swerling, 2010, para 4). In the primary grades handwriting is linked with basic reading skills as well as reading accomplishments. Once students learn their letters they can then learn the sound behind each letter. This helps them sound out each word in their handwriting, reading, and spelling skills. (Spear-Swerling, 2010, para 5).…

    My Literacy Journey

    I’ve always had the desire to write beautifully, from penmanship to placement and flow of the words. I remember getting birthday cards from my Granny with elegant cursive writing. Attracted to the way each word blended so smooth and soft, I would get a piece of paper and mimic the slants of each word connecting each letter, more like one lowercase “l” after another, to the next. One day I’d be able to spell the words in my mind, and until that day I’d practice my “cursive” one squiggly line at a time.…

    How Computers Change the Way We Think

    The fear is that human mind will slowly lose its original ability to be creative due to many tasks that have been taken over by computers. Over a period of time people became so reliable on computers that they forgot the simplest multiplication and division rules. The lack of manual mathematics, which people chose, caused computers to take control of the humans by doing the work for them. Moreover, people are losing skills that come with writing with hand. Handwriting is a necessary skill that is not likely to find a replacement in the world of technology. Also spelling skills are lost, this even true for students who consider themselves good spellers. Many word processing programs auto correct misspelled words and the writer never even knows that they have made a mistake. Everyone loves efficiency and while it certainly speeds up the writing process, it leads to the enforcement of common misspellings.…
