students now and in the future. There are many things that involve cursive writing such as writing signatures or reading old documents. I think cursive writing should be taught because cursive inspires creativity, can be used as a tool, and develops motor skills for our brains. In my opinion, because cursive has many benefits, this form of <a href='/topics/writing' style='color:#3174a3'>writing</a> should be taught in schools today.<br /> <br /> To begin with, cursive writing inspires creativity. Now, most of the time people are using computers to finish assignments or take notes instead of writing them down. Instead of having to type notes and answers to assignments, being able to write things down forces you to formulate your thought and to slow down so you don’t make as many mistakes. In fact, those with good handwriting have brains that are more active in certain areas than<a data-href=/writing/document/FCPJZWJSZBT 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 process the information visually, you write the information on <a href='/topics/paper' style='color:#3174a3'>paper</a>, and you record the notes in your memory. This helps retain <a href='/topics/learning' style='color:#3174a3'>learning</a> and develop new ideas. Studies have shown improved scores on reading and spelling for students who learn cursive as connected letters instead of parts. Cursive writing can also be used as a tool for students who have learning difficulties such as Dyslexia.<br /> <br /> In conclusion cursive writing should be taught in schools. In my opinion, cursive writing should be taught in schools today because of the positive impact on learning. As you can see, cursive writing inspires creativity, can be used as a tool, and develops fine motor skills. Therefore, if we want our next generation of leaders to develop creativity, if we want them to recognize and understand important historical documents, and if we want them to maximize learning and the ability to retain knowledge, we must teach cursive writing in our</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/FCPJZWJSZBT">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 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.

All schools should teach cursive it’s a really important skill in life.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>398 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/Why-Cursive-Should-Be-Taught-FJDY3BRRUFT">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><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-Writing-Be-Taught-In-Schools-PCZU8G7KPV" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Writing Be Taught In Schools</h2></a><ul><li>221 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/Should-Cursive-Writing-Be-Taught-In-Schools-PCZU8G7KPV" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Writing Be Taught In Schools</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> While writing in cursive, both sides of your brain communicate with one another.

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-essay12"><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/Present-Good-Arguments-Against-Cursive-Writing-B7A892B34541A825" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Present Good Arguments Against Cursive Writing</h2></a><ul><li>348 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/Present-Good-Arguments-Against-Cursive-Writing-B7A892B34541A825" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Present Good Arguments Against Cursive Writing</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> In the first article the author states "Writing by hand helps individuals remember ideas better than typing". From my own experience i can say that cursive writing for me would help me perform better on tests. Learning cursive can help millions of people. The article also states "It requires students to summarize ideas rather than simply recording every word the teacher says". This shows that cursive writing isn't useless; its a tool we can still use.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>348 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/Present-Good-Arguments-Against-Cursive-Writing-B7A892B34541A825">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay13"><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/Cursive-Should-Stay-In-School-FJJZUR9QRLT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Cursive Should Stay In School</h2></a><ul><li>476 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-Should-Stay-In-School-FJJZUR9QRLT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Cursive Should Stay In School</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">I think, cursive should stay in school. Kids need it to sigh things for work or checks and even to buy things! Cursive was used way back in the day, which was all that was used. Handwriting is 50% of writing skills. Though it takes time from more relevant things it would help them out in further life. It’s hard to learn, most people forget it during their life people use it all over the world and if we were to stop teaching it kids and teens would not be able to read older people handwriting. In my opinion, cursive should still be taught in schools today. Most people don’t like it, I think cursive looks every good when done right.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>476 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/Cursive-Should-Stay-In-School-FJJZUR9QRLT">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/Should-Cursive-Writing-Be-Taught-In-Schools-PJJQUZZ9F5B" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Writing Be Taught In Schools?</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-Writing-Be-Taught-In-Schools-PJJQUZZ9F5B" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Should Cursive Writing Be Taught In Schools?</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">There has been an issue all around the United States for the past twenty years.
