It was once a vital element of American education but is now becoming an archaic artefact as technology advancement and the requirement of more regulated tests push it out of the education system. Cursive writing should be scrapped out of the education system for there is no need of wasting time and resources to continue teaching a skill that won’t be beneficial to the students in the near future.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1075 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good 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/Argumentative-Essay-on-Cursive-Writing-P37Z3SS5H3G4Y">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay10"><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/Should-Cursive-Be-Required-In-School-PJ2Y446V9AB" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Be Required In School</h2></a><ul><li>301 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/Should-Cursive-Be-Required-In-School-PJ2Y446V9AB" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Be Required In School</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> In my oppinion i believe that cursive should be taught in every school from 1st garde till every student graduates, why? Cursive is a very important and useful skill, knowing how to write in cursive helps with everyday things, like signing you're name for example this is needed quite a bit in our everyday lives. In the passage the narrator suggests that cursive is good for the mind, i agree 100% with this statement, writing in a neat way, and at a higher difficulty tests you're ability to remember how to write the letter for one, and two you also look more intelligent and neat.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>301 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory 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/Should-Cursive-Be-Required-In-School-PJ2Y446V9AB">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay11"><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-good-essays"><div><span>Good 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/Should-Cursive-Writing-Be-Taught-In-School-PCCFH9VK69T" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Writing Be Taught In School?</h2></a><ul><li>1146 Words</li><li>5 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/Should-Cursive-Writing-Be-Taught-In-School-PCCFH9VK69T" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Writing Be Taught In School?</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Scientific studies show that writing in cursive “promotes hand-eye coordination, visual, fine motor and memory skills” (Cooper). People do not want cursive in school because paper and pencil cursive writing is done in school only and is useless outside of school. On the other hand, people believe cursive writing should be in school because it allows children to read historical documents like the Declaration of Independence.

This way of writing was used on one of America’s most important documents the declaration of independence. Furthermore this way of writing is named cursive. Cursive is very important to student’s education. If learning cursive students are more literature, students can take notes faster in college, and gain a life skill. In my opinion cursive should be taught in school because it is a talent and a skill that will help you write faster. Some people think cursive is just a bunch of scribbly lines but its art to me.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>155 Words</li><li>1 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory 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/Cursive-Should-Be-Taught-In-Schools-PJA2NLSYRT">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay14"><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/Teach-Cursive-Writing-F3D9AAE4DECA9FF3" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Teach Cursive Writing</h2></a><ul><li>486 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/Teach-Cursive-Writing-F3D9AAE4DECA9FF3" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Teach Cursive Writing</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">When you hear the word “cursive writing” you might think it’s worthless to learn in school. In my opinion, schools should still teach cursive writing because we still use them in many important ways. We still need them nowadays. First of all, we use cursive writing in school when doing an activity and that still does not stop us from using cursive writing. In the article “Five Reasons kids Should Still Learn Cursive Writing” explains, that we still need cursive writing because we use it everywhere in school and even though we don’t use them, we will still need them when doing an activity that requires cursive writing.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>486 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/Teach-Cursive-Writing-F3D9AAE4DECA9FF3">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay15"><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/Cursive-Writing-History-FJCJK3WP5WB" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Cursive Writing History</h2></a><ul><li>399 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/Cursive-Writing-History-FJCJK3WP5WB" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Cursive Writing History</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">I believe that cursive writing is a thing of the past and there is no reason that we should continue to use it.
