Also, the evidence that supports this thesis is clearly explained throughout the story about how teachers no longer feel that cursive writing is needed in <a href='/topics/school' style='color:#3174a3'>school</a>, and how technology is a huge factor in schools which pretty much eliminates the need to teach the skill of writing or using cursive penmanship. Furthermore, the author’s style of this article is fictional and states a lot of interesting factors that have been researched, how times have changed. In fact, <a href='/topics/education' style='color:#3174a3'>education</a> just isn’t the same and probably will continue to become more dependent on technology.

I think that cursive writing could really benefit anyone children especially but for some reason the school systems have become so dependent on computer technology that a lot of the testing in schools are even done on a computer I remember doing CSAP testing and you had to make sure you filled in the correct bubble just right. As the author writes cursive is a lost virtue and to get it back is more than likely not going to happen this really makes me wonder what other skills schools no longer teach children I mean I know as parents it’s our job to prepare our children for the future but if it comes down to the point to where were having to teach our children the necessities to get them through life at home then what exactly is the point of public schools if they aren’t preparing our children for the future. To me cursive is like math people use it every day and if children aren’t being taught how to write it they definitely aren’t going to be able to</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/FJWQ22X8F5M">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/Keith-Waagstaff-Forget-Cursive-Response-FCPYNND5V" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Keith Waagstaff Forget Cursive Response</h2></a><ul><li>213 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/Keith-Waagstaff-Forget-Cursive-Response-FCPYNND5V" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Keith Waagstaff Forget Cursive Response</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">In the article, Forget cursive: Teach kids how to code, Keith Wagstaff describes how they believe that schools should discard the idea of reimplanting cursive into regular standards, and start teaching children how to code. In my personal opinion, I cannot pick a side. I both agree and disagree with the subject. Writing is in almost every career, however, most of the writing formats are technology. Cursive also makes writing faster, again, however, the variety of writing based jobs are on technology. Another thing is kids interests. Although a wealthy job, not every kid is going to want to code.

Second, it’s frustrating for parents. Lastly, you can gain a life skill because cursive might be easy for you when you grow up.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>117 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/Why-Cursive-Writing-Should-Not-Be-Taught-PCGX2GA85ZM">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay4"><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/Historical-Documents-In-Cursive-Writing-PJL7A95ZMT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Historical Documents In Cursive Writing</h2></a><ul><li>349 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/Historical-Documents-In-Cursive-Writing-PJL7A95ZMT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Historical Documents In Cursive Writing</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Through the years, many people have stated that cursive should not be taught in schools.

The author of "Cursive Is a Powerful Brain Tool" believes that cursive is essential for making our brains more stronger and functional. The ways cursive helps, is that by writing things down by hand it helps us process material better and medical brain scans show that it also helps with "fine motor-skill development and stimulates both the right and left parts of the brain". People with brain injuries might lose the ability to read in write, but in some case were still able to read and write in cursive. The author of "Cursive Is a Twenty-First Century Dinosaur", believes that cursive being removed from the classrom isn't a big deal. Saying that a survey back in 2012 at a conference was given to a group of handwriting teacher by a lead researcher. Only 37% of the handwriting teachers wrote in cursive.

Handwriting instruction has been very popular throughout the twentieth and nineteenth century and was universally taught in schools of the U.S. However, now that technology is becoming more widely adopted, handwriting instruction is becoming less of an option in schools. Handwriting instruction, especially in cursive, is very fundamental in education, expanding students' ability to write and learn.

Think about when kids get older and they have to sign something, are they going to sign in neat cursive or just write normal? Furthermore, schools should at least teach cursive for fifteen minutes a day. If kids keep progressing in cursive by only fifteen minutes a day, then the teachers should keep going on with it. Then, if other schools see how well it is working, more and more teachers will want to use it more often. If kids can't read cursive, or write their name in cursive, then teachers should still give them the basic steps. When the students get older they're going to say "Cursive is very nice to have around and I like using it every day." But, other critics argue we have computers and we are moving on with society so we don't need cursive.

However, students today learn cursive in only second grade for 30 minutes a day, and only 3 times a week. In addition, students today are not required to use cursive on any classroom work other than their cursive handwriting worksheets, whereas students from the older generation were required to use cursive on all classroom activities. All differences aside, one thing remains common – students must receive an education. Because cursive handwriting improves visual cognition and fine motor skills, greater measures should be taken to increase students’ abilities to read and write in cursive.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>735 Words</li><li>3 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/Cursive-Handwriting-In-The-1940s-27FDA730B26FF74A">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-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/Argumentative-Essay-on-Cursive-Writing-P37Z3SS5H3G4Y" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Argumentative Essay on Cursive Writing</h2></a><ul><li>1075 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/Argumentative-Essay-on-Cursive-Writing-P37Z3SS5H3G4Y" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Argumentative Essay on Cursive Writing</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> Taught more than thirty decades ago, cursive writing has a famed and legendary past.
