My teacher in seventh grade said that the reason why I need cursive is because it’s a
form of writing that the high school will only accept, Until print style was allowed the first years
entering high school it wasn’t even mention of the word cursive like it was none existence.I'm a
senior now, I went through high school for four years and never once needed to write in cursive.
It's clear that cursive is a dying art style replaced with typing and normal printing. Which is such
a shame, it’s a dying style of writing because it has a lot of benefits like improved grammar,
word spacing, critical-thinking and coordination; it also shows it help's creatively and also, helps
us relate closer to the old documents in history that were written in cursive.
Cursive has been declining since 2010, when everyone has been adopting the common
core curriculum standards that don’t include writing. Cursiveis a practical skill, which can make
you take a faster approach than print since cursive connects and flows differently due to the
forced learned stroke order.Cursive also has the potential to boost test scores when it comes to
writing and grammar like on the SATcollege scores or general test scores to subjects that relate
says Robert Klose in the Christian science monitor document. In studies like the one in 2012 the
"James& Englehardt" brain study shows that learning to print letters is setting up a neural system
that underline reading by connecting shared neural systems in the human brain. They even said
that "writing as an indispensable help for children and their developing brains that read with
Luke 2
proficiency. That’s why school that have thrown out teaching hand writing should bring it back."
this is proof that cursiveneeds more recognition before the worldlose another art style.
People who thinks that cursive isn't useful or isn'tan art style they must not now what
some of the most important documents in history was written likes the declaration of
independence or the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Gettysburg Address, Magna Carta, Mayflower
speeches like from GeorgeWashington, AbrahamsLincoln, John Kennedy or Martin Luther King.
The fact that public school is not teaching the student to read and write cursive would make the
documents in their original picture and text would be like reading a foreign language which
would make are history ineligible for us to read and apricate. Public school is pretty much
keeping the younger generation the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of each stroke, punctuation,
capital letter is basically what Jonathan W. Emord from USAToday said in his document why
the left curses cursive. Most parents and grandparents had to learn to write cursive while they
were in school but these days some people want to say that typing is more important than writing,
but not everyone think that since some schools in Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee are switching back
to making cursive a requirement. Since the world is entering a more technicalage where
computers are the main way to communicate the schools are prioritizing typing over hand
writing.
In today's age people use computer for everything that needs to be writtendue that type
instead of writing is more common and easier to read. Typing does have an advantage like being
less to learn. Now peopledon’t have to worry about grammar and misspelling.whentheytype,
now auto-corrected, which fixes all grammatical errors and spelling errors. It's harder to misplace,
since it’s online or on the computer in the files what you type can be found on the computer hard

drives. Writing is neater to the eye.Typing out words is much cleaner and uniform than regular
print or cursiveis, writing them out as it all comes outrun even and sometimes ineligible. But
that’s something like that is fixable, Bereiter and Scardamlia in 1987 provided an explanation of
how novices can gradually master these highly demanding text productions, including fluency of
the linguistic processes in order to lessen the demands on a person'smemory'ssystem when it tries
to hold andmanipulate a large amount of information simultaneously." The studies show that this
technique does work but people who cannot master this will produces meager and inadequate
product. A great number of children and youth have severe problem with mastering the task of
composing a meaningful text. If these difficulties persist over time and reach a certain point, a
critical stage that seems as anexpression of a specific learning disability in writing given the
statistics it is important that teacher support children and youth in improving their ability to first
author simple stories and later attend to more sophisticated linguistic text form. In the insight to
learning disabilities says writing is a very complex neurodevelopmental process, and its intricacy
style of writing since it does have some benefits"like improved grammar, the flow and the way

the way that the fore fathers of this country used to write. The argument of writing over typing is
still something that is still being debated, but there are some strong facts that protect the side of
keeping plus the pros out way the cons in the pros of writing gives peoplemore skills and the
knowledge to write without assistance from a computer or auto correct. Plus, when it comes to
signing a signature they want to you to know how write cursive. To sign for checks and other
