Cursive is a great tool to learn throughout your lifetime. I know that when I was younger (around the age of 6-8), I had no idea what my mother, and grandmother were writing me, because I did not know how to read or write in cursive. So my mother taught me everyday how to write in cursive after coming home from school. She always thought it was benificial to write in cursive so if you had to get a job you would be that much more valuable to the company, and it would make me that much smarter.

Like when you are writing a check, applying for a job, applying for a house or appartment. The list can go on and on, there are many things you will need to due in your life just by using cursive.

They wont have the fundamentals needed to become strong, independent adults. So please keep teaching cursive in school's, because if it gets taken away then the new generation of kid's wont be able to have had the chance to use it. It will become a form of history, they will have to go into books to learn how to read and write in cursive rather than being in class learning about cursive. Reading and writing in cursive is a great tool to learn in life, I know if I didn't learn it I wouldn't have got some job's that I had applied for, I also wouldn't have been able to write my grandmother back when she sends me letters. It's a very good trait to learn in life it might be hard but with just a little perciverance, and dedication you will be able to read and write in cursive to. Sincerley, David
