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. I'm glad that I learned how to write in cursive before I learned how to type on the keyboard. Since when you type on the keyboard you have the ability to use the spellcheck button and it will fix all your mistakes you have made. When you write somthing …show more content…
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. I would like cursive to keep being taught in public/private school's, due to it's significance in life. If you take away cursive in school's then I think kid's will be on the computer more then ever. 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
What would the world be like if cursive wasn’t invented? Cursive should not be taught in schools. It is sometimes difficult to learn cursive. Depending on how the teachers teach and the age of the student it could be a very long process to learn cursive.
There are also reasons that cursive should be taught. Studies show it broadens the brain and makes think more while writing in cursive. It also brings out more inner thoughts in the brain. Someday we will need cursive for car signature, loans, student loan, and a lot more things that require cursive. Studies also show that it activates different parts of the brain and shows fine motor skills towards kids.
What benefits does cursive writing hold, if students were to learn? Phsycologists found that if students hand write vs. type they remember better what was wriiten down. Well who said you need to know cursive to hand write? There is something called fine print, and we use that everyday of our lives. You just don't need cursive anymore. That is why it should never be required.
Numerous intellectuals have debated on the effects that typography has on the mind. An example of two such intellectuals are Walter Ong and Neil Postman. In Walter Ong’s “Writing is a Technology that Restructures Thought” he describes the difference between oral and typographic cultures and the resulting effects each had on the mind while in Chapter 4 of Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death” similarly focuses on how typography has molded the way that we think, which has become very structured and writing-like, and how that effects public discourse. Overall, both their pieces serve to demonstrate how typography arrogates itself into our lives and is forever embedded in our conscious and unconscious mind, which illuminates how technology is
Thesis: Cursive writing should be taught in school because children today only know how to hashtag and text. Very few actually know how to write in cursive. Learning cursive will enhance students’ spelling ability and reading skills. It will also help students with learning disabilities.
Increase Time to Teach Cursive Children now-a-days grow up without the access to a good education in cursive. They instead grow up with computers, phones, and tablets. This change that occurred in the last twenty years represents a phasing out of cursive handwriting, but growing up as someone who avidly uses cursive on a daily basis, I think that this choice is not the same choice that should be made. Growing up I remember the struggle of having to differentiate between myself and my classmates, because despite the fact that others could not read my notes I still remained top of my class, simply because I could take more detailed notes than they could. This brings me back to the reason why the disparity in my writing speed is so much different
Should We Keep Cursive Handwriting? Cursive handwriting has been a debate around the world for a while now. Some people say that cursive handwriting is a need. Other people say that it takes up time that could be used for other subjects that are more important.
Did you know that if you use cursive you can learn some different skills? Like for example I really like to draw of paint and when I try to write in cursive it has a lot of swirly line and I think cursive it fun because of it. That is why in my opinion I think cursive should be taught in schools. That is why in this story I will tell you 3 reason why and some facts. First, of all you will need to use it for when you’re are grown up for example some papers you need to sign. Second, of all you could learn how to communicate with and older generation like grandparents. And finally, cursive can help with some art skills of just some other skills like for example art skills like how you use some wiggly or strange lines in art.
Public school students should be taught how to wirte in cursive as a required part of the cirriculum . I believe that cursive is essential to students now a days . Even though there are so many technological advances now a days , I have always written in cursive because i recieve information in class better and it sticks in my head, also cursive looks good when you perfect it , as well as cursive handwriting is great for your mind ! Being a student in highschool taking tons of notes etc , i have always found handwriting my notes for test in class was more beneficial rather than typing them. Handwriting my notes allowed me to process all of the matiereal better .
I personally do not enjoy writing like most people would feel about reading a dictionary. I am cautiously treading water with every word I type. I have always found writing to be a tedious process. I have never found ease in wording something the way I want to; therefore, it usually sounds so much better in my head. I’ve never considered myself to be comfortable with writing in general. For example, I always had a hard time telling if I needed a comma in a sentence or not. Sometimes it was obvious, but it seems more confusing most of the time.
Cursive was only a huge things because we needed to use it everyday to sign for thing's. Now, that is no longer needed. So there is no need to teach
Plus, there is the added need to educate kids on new technology. However, I only needed one school year to learn how to write in cursive and I now write in a hybrid of cursive and manuscript. Furthermore, although it has been disproven by Steve Graham in The Journal of Educational Research that cursive is faster than manuscript, it was found “papers written with mixed-mostly cursive letters generally receive[] higher ratings for legibility than papers written with [manuscript, cursive, or mixed-mostly manuscript] did” (290). The College Board also found SAT essays written in cursive received a slightly better score than those in
Cursive is a great thing to learn and should be taught in schools. Cursive helps your brain, it's important to sign your name on documents, and you can read things in cursive from history. Learning cursive is something everyone should know has to be kept in school. Keep reading to find my reasons why. Writing in cursive helps your brain more than you think.
Cursive writing takes a very controversial part in today's educational system. As soon as elementary school, children are required to write words and small sentences in cursive. I believe at such an early age the brain is still processing simple sentences and larger words, therefore, adding a whole new alphabet can be deemed difficult for some people. Parents shouldn't have to hear that their child is failing at his/her work due to being unable to write in cursive. Where it's seen as a brain stimulant for both sides of the brain and builds motor skills, some would agree its a useless writing method that only makes it more difficult for some to transition to.
Final Exam Oh, how our teachers like to tell us that writing is so important. I used to not believe what they told us. However, after being in Mrs.Kigar’s Senior Composition class I learned that they are actually telling us the truth-writing is important! I’ve gained many new writing skills this year and realized many I already had.
