Cursive should not be taught in school any longer. Communication usually involves typing and technology, not pencil and paper or cursive. Furthermore, hardly anyone uses cursive now that we have more technology. Cursive is something that you will not use everyday, you rarely use it and typing you most likely will always use. Communication usually involves typing and technology. You won't see people sending letters in <a href='/topics/cursive' style='color:#3174a3'>cursive</a> nowadays. We live in the technology era where we mostly communicate with technology like typing and texting, but no one will be using cursive. Speaking of technology, we don't need our signature to keep our things safe. Now we have things that we didn’t have before, like finger print scanners. All you need is your finger, you won't mess that up or need to learn it. With the cursive signature, you need to get it just right and identical to the original one, what if it is you but your signature isn't the same. In addition with the finger print you don’t need to remember anything, all you need is to tap. That is one of the reasons that cursive shouldn't be taught and why technology is taking over cursive.<a data-href=/writing/document/64EB83F81CA4811C class="document__middle white-space--normal source-serif text-l" rel="nofollow" style="cursor:pointer;white-space: normal;"> <i>…show more content…</i> </a></p></span><span class="document__preview text-l source-serif "><p class='text-ellipsis-after'>You will rarely see anyone <a href='/topics/writing' style='color:#3174a3'>writing</a> letters because of technology. Who's going to be writing letters in cursive and take a week for someone to respond. When you can send a text message and the receive it no problem in a second. They can also respond in a second. You can go back and forth with that person. You can do that with cursive but it is way to slow. To put it more simply, technology is way too fast for cursive. Think of how long it would take having to write and receive, where as if you were to use technology you can do it in an instant. Hardly anyone uses cursive anymore and that is why cursive should not be taught in schools any</p></span></div><div class="paper__gradient paper__gradient--bottom"></div><div class="center paper__cta"><a class="button text-m button--orange" id="ShowMoreButton" rel="nofollow" data-href="/writing/document/64EB83F81CA4811C">Get Access</a></div></div></div></div><div class="columns large-4 hide-for-medium-only hide-for-small-only"><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar"></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar_1"></div></div></div><div class="row essay-preview-block essay-related-block "><div class="columns large-12 padding-1 no-padding-large"><div class="columns large-12 paper--related-separator-new"><span class="paper--related-separator-word">Related</span></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_related"></div><section class=""><ul id="RelatedDocumentCenter" class="unstyled"><li id="related-essay1"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Analysis-Of-Why-We-Shouldn-T-Write-04B10BE31E825CAB" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Analysis Of Why We Shouldn 'T Write Off Cursive' By Bobby George</h2></a><ul><li>315 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Analysis-Of-Why-We-Shouldn-T-Write-04B10BE31E825CAB" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Analysis Of Why We Shouldn 'T Write Off Cursive' By Bobby George</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">In the article, “Why We Shouldn’t Write Off Cursive” by Bobby George and June George, talks about cursive. The authors argue how cursive should be taught in school and should be considered more valuable. Right now, 45 states has omitted cursive from the required school curricula. I remember when I studied in a private school at India, we had to learn cursive. It was not an optional, it was a must and we were pretty much was graded on how neat/good you write it. Personally, I think cursive is very neat, elegant, and rich looking and I believe it helps you get a good handwriting too.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>315 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Analysis-Of-Why-We-Shouldn-T-Write-04B10BE31E825CAB">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Why-Cursive-Writing-Should-Not-Be-Taught-PCGX2GA85ZM" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Why Cursive Writing Should Not Be Taught Today</h2></a><ul><li>117 Words</li><li>1 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Why-Cursive-Writing-Should-Not-Be-Taught-PCGX2GA85ZM" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Why Cursive Writing Should Not Be Taught Today</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> Did you know cursive takes away core subjects like Math and Reading?
