I'd rather people be taught proper grammar and spelling. I am horrified on a daily basis by people's writing on the internet. It is sad.
Why would you go to school to learn how to write? Next you're going to tell me they're trying to teach reading and arithmetic. Blasphemy!
Let's go back to leaving your mark "X" on documents.
I think so. That should be basic stuff. How's anyone going to sign their name on stuff anymore? I'm very lucky that my kids were taught it in private school, so that now the older one goes to public school she's the only one that knows it there.
Err, major run on sentence. Please excuse.
Sadly, basic writing is barely taught, let alone cursive. Children bring their tablets to class at the elemenrary school I work at.
This is by request:
What is your secret fetish?
The other day, I outted mine as chicks in yoga pants. What kinky or kooky things are the rest of you into?
Of course they should. Shameful how no one can write or spell and don't care. I see peers have in their email signature, "pardon my spelling or typing errors," and this is business email!
My boys are in 3rd grade this year and have started learning cursive. One of them told me the other day that they were learning "old fashioned" writing. LOL...too funny!
My class ring says YES!
Yes. Good penmanship in general should b taught.
YES!
and I agree with the poster who mentioned proper grammar.
cursive is pretty pointless
@S.Joy, didn't know you were a teacher!
My eight-year-old daughter is still drilled in cursive writing in her school. They say it helps with overall finger control and assists the children in formulating their thoughts as they write.
My adult sons laugh at me because "you're the only person we know who still writes in cursive". I tell them I'll be leading the secret communications division of the rebellion forces after the machines take over.
Of course they shld learn it! It cant hurt and its still around enough( the constitution) that one may want to read something written in cursive. And totally agree about spelling, grammar and tense. Some of the stuff I read is appalling. Strive to be educated for godssakes!
Absolutely! Our school teaches cursive and students are required to use cursive from grades 3 through 12 on anything that isn't for their eyes only.
yes, definitely, although my writing is a hybrid of cursive & print-maybe I should go back to school.
My fetish is cursive writing, amazingly.
Yes! We realized last year that our kids will never have a signature at this rate! Oh, my son's been taught cursive, but he never has to use it. Oy.
Yes, they should definitely still teach cursive. However, they should also work on not having any classes with 36 kids in it first. Then, maybe kids will learn proper grammar and spelling. I cannot believe how little education is valued by our government.
Yes, teach it.
Yes, it should be taught, if for no other reason for hand-eye coordination and fine motor control.
Co-sign, @Alexa Rose.
LULZ, @Vikingwench and @Leo.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
It's still taught at my kids' school.
@Leo, that was funny.
Yes! Two reasons:
1. People do still have to manually sign their name at least sometimes, and printing won't get it done if a signature is needed.
2. It drives a lot of kids absolutely cray-cray, which is a good thing.
Unless cursive writing is something else with an unknown meaning for me, it's totally unnecessary. You only need to learn handwriting, cursive writing is something useless in real life. And useless means with not use at all, because things as latin, geometry or such may not be used by lots of people, but are useful in a side way. Cursive writing is the alec baldwin of the class time, only useful to piss people off.
Cursive and grammar should always be part of a proper curriculum.
I want to learn THIS writing on this slate.
Agree with everyone about the state of our school system. Banks get bailouts and major corporations get huge tax write-offs while teachers get laid off. Priorities!
(sorry, it's Japanese, not Chinese. I was distracted by the adjoining NSFW view of Ewan.)
They should definitely learn it. My kids are learning it in elementary school. If you live in a district where they don't teach cursive writing, I can only imagine what else has been cut from the curriculum! Time to move!
A well-endowed fella in yoga pants...
Yes, but I mostly print except for my signature and I still write in shorthand too. Spelling and grammar are more important IMO.
"Cursive writing is the alec baldwin of the class time, only useful to piss people off."
That was a pretty awesome analogy.
Pssha-easy for you to say. Some people can't just move.
there are studies showing that cursive writing helps form connections in the brain that printing doesn't. also for children with learning differences, cursive helps them learn spelling because they don't have to pick up their pen off the paper after each letter, it just flows. as for signing things, if you print it, it's not very distinctive and is easy to forge.
Watching a well-endowed fella in yoga pants as he signs his name in cursive writing on a charge slip for an extravagant purchase for me!
@vikingwench Hahahaha! Thank you for that
@vikingwench Hahahaha! Thank you for that
No. Proper grammar and spelling are far more important than neat handwriting.
Yes and to address the idea of proper grammar it's very important. My grandfather was a VP of a company if you sent him three emails with misspelled words or improper punctuation he would fire you.
Yes, it should be taught but personally, I never use it.
I can understand it's taught for the purposes of signatures and also being able to read those who are already using it. It has been part of my son's third grade and he's excited about it cause it's new. In all of my courses, it is not considered a priority to include it in the curriculum. It is taught at many schools as a requirement, but not strictly enforced. They can learn it but it is not specifically addressed in the common core standards, so it may not be enforced by all schools. Plus, so many schools are having kids do everything on the computers that there isn't enough time to focus on cursive.
