Nowadays‚ cursive writing is only found when people are signing their names onto papers‚ checks‚ etc. With papers being written electronically more and more‚ cursive is found to be being used less and less.

Cursive in school. It is a fond memory that is shared with almost all generations learning to write the phrase “the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” in cursive. It brings me joy to read old letter between my great grandma and Grandpa‚ or read the beautiful penmanship of the side notes that my ancestors had written in our family bible. Sadly today’s generation may never get to share this memory or experience this sentimental feeling‚ because cursive is being taken out of today’s curriculum

Cursive is something I hated from the day I first learned it in the fourth grade. It seemed like a complete waste of time and I thought there was no point to it. The teacher used to come up to me and tell me that I needed to work on Z since it was the first letter in my name and as such that was the only letter I ever really worked on.

English 100 April 28‚ 2014 Cursive: The Long Lost Handwriting Style. “What is this? I am not accepting this paper until you rewrite it in cursive!” This is what I heard from my old teacher telling my buddy who didn’t take the ‘cursive only’ rule seriously. I attended St. Catherine’s Military Academy‚ a private military school that instilled many values in their students; including‚ the aforementioned ‘cursive only’ rule. I didn’t really understand why they made us write in cursive‚ I actually hated it

I tried once to learn cursive‚ but it was always harder for me to write in cursive than print. I am not saying that we should leave handwriting behind altogether‚ I’m just saying we shouldn’t waste students and teachers time teaching this form of handwriting (we already have too many useless & forgettable facts being “taught” already). Almost all of the “proof” that cursive enthusiasts provide points to handwriting as a whole‚ not just cursive. I think that cursive could be taught in schools‚ it
