Use your best cursive to copy the quote below.
As a school board director, I have been challenged to challenge my local school to demand the re-instatement of cursive writing
and a PS ... I got this in my FB this morning
Teaching cursive is like teaching music....it EXERCISES THE BRAIN. Not everyone will be good at it or need it but having been CHALLENGED to learn it, all benefit.
Eliminating cursive from early schooling gives more time for teaching today’s important things like islam, homosexuality, socialism and global warming.
Use your best cursive to copy the quote below.
Can’t cite any sources, but I know that there is some research in how the actual process of writing in cursive benefits development of the young brain.
I read plenty of historical documents not in cursive. They’ve been transposed. And really given the way cursive and the language it writes changed over the years it really doesn’t help. You’re guaranteed to run into letters written a way you’ve never seen them (I remember the first time I encountered those big s’s that look like fancy f’s), and words you’ve never encountered. Reading original versions of historical documents is its own skill set that just barely begins with cursive.
Cursive is a white thing.
And we should force lefties to write as if they are using their right hand.
I hate getting ink on my cuff.
Cursive’s utility is that it allows one to write quickly and efficiently with a minimum of lifting of the pen off the paper. Now, we have computers that are even more efficient in producing documents.
Everyone admires the writing of those who do.
Of course, with computers and all, who needs mom and apple pie?
