Cursive Writing

Should cursive still be taught in schools? What are your thoughts?

15 Comments to Cursive Writing

  1. The only time I use cursive is to sign my name.

    The bad thing about learning cursive is that people eventually make up their own system, which consists of illegible loops and squiggles, and ends up looking like Arabic.

  3. Thats called Doctor text. I still use cursive and my friends tell me I write like a girl since they can read it.

  5. I use cursive but I mainly “crint” (cursive and print together). I think it still needs to be taught just to teach people how to write.

  7. oddly, i rarely use it. mainly use cursive for my name. my cursive has become quite sloppy. i do more typing then writing, so there’s no point knowing it.

  11. My cursive handwriting is ten times better than my print. Thank you public school system. I say yes to cursive.

  13. The time spent teaching children cursive could be better used for other subjects.

  15. Yes it should be taught, even though most people only use it for their signature. I know that most of the time I writ in print, but when it’s for a special occasion, like a greeting card or a letter to a friend, I’ll write in cursive. It shows that you took that much more time to think about what you wanted to write.

  17. My computer teacher actually made us learn how to write in cursive because it was important. Same with spelling and grammar. They are all important. What if one day the internet went down and god forbid you had to write to someone? @Caty No this is not one of the things they could spend the time on better. It literally takes minutes and how about we get rid of all the self-esteem building garbage that is making narcissistic pricks out of the kids? I would rather see children able to write then think they are gods gift to the world because they got a gold star for being able to print their name.

  19. Teaching cursive writing is about more than just teaching kids how to write, it is also about teaching them the proper way to hold a pencil or pen. I teach middle school and many of my students hold their pen like they are about to stab someone (full-fist grip) or squeezed between their knuckles. Not only does this look REALLY unattractive, it must also make their hands very sore.
    We write to communicate; if you can’t read what someone else said you might as well be mute!

  25. No one writes in cursive anymore, it’s a shame. My cursive is much better than my printing. Cursive should still be taught in schools.
