Should Cursive Writing Be Taught In Schools

Handwriting is 50% of literacy

Do you think cursive writing should still be taught in schools? In my opinion, cursive writing should be taught in all schools. To begin with, it gives us skill we need later in life. Secondly, students will be faster note takers if they learn cursive. Most importantly, cursive forms functional specializations.

To begin with, cursive gives us the skills we need in life. People have better memory if they have learned cursive. We need to remember how to write cursive and actually think about what we`re writing about. Cursive also helps our brains develop better, it uses the left and right side at the same time. Cursive gives us motor skills, which would have benefits if you want be a mechanic.

Secondly, students

will be able to write and take notes faster. Cursive increases thinking, and if you are writing a paragraph in cursive it could give you more ideas. Cursive is also good for language and memory, so it will give us better handwriting and we will be better at remembering so we don’t have to keep looking at notes to write. Cursive also gives us better grammar, we would have better transitions and more descriptive words. Cursive writing is also used in signatures, which would be used to sign names on important documents or checks.
Most importantly, cursive writing forms functional specializations. Functional specializations are sight, hearing, feel, taste. So without functional specializations we wouldn’t really be able to do anything. Cursive also forms our brains, it gives us a brain “work out”. We absolutely need functional specializations to daily tasks without sight we wouldn’t be able to see what we need to do, without hearing we wouldn’t be able to hear what people say to us, without feel we wouldn’t be able to feel what is dangerous, without taste we wouldn’t know what is good or bad for all we know we could end up eating something rotten and get sick!
Without a doubt cursive should definitely be taught in all schools in the United States! Remember, cursive gives us skills we need later in life, allows us to write faster, and forms functional specializations. Now take action and stand up for cursive writing!
