Cursive?
September 10, 2015 at 8:34 pm
(This post was last modified: September 10, 2015 at 8:35 pm by Aroura.)
So, what are your opinions on teaching cursive?
I learned cursive in grade school in the 80's, but I do not think I will bother to teach it to my child. However, I'm not dead set on that.
Is there a good reason to learn cursive for kids today?

Only their name. Cursive harder to forge than print.

Supposedly, due to technology being more prevalent in society, cursive is a non issue to be taught in school now.

Builds character.
Suffering aids personal development.
Because I said so.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I think you just like the swirls and flourish.

My children will be taught to write! And properly. If I a blind woman still practice my writing, then I see no reason not be able to write. It's laziness clean and simple.

void this (void)
{this};
I prefer recursive.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

My, now ten-year old granddaughter, wanted books to learn to write in cursive last year for Christmas. I got one for her as well as paper to practice on and some cool, colored pens. She has always been into drawing and other artistic endeavors. I think her desire to learn cursive was an offshoot of that.
