[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to think that it was important for my kids to learn cursive, but my kids learned this in 3rd grade (FCPS) and then were never asked to use it again (now in 7th and 5th). Why bother? Sure, it can be pretty, and maybe some would argue that you could write more quickly - but the shift is to typing. I'm just not convinced anymore. I feel like it's a better use of time to teach my kids something (anything) else. [/quote] If you read the article (link provided in the OP), then you would see there are some neurological benefits to learning/writing in cursive. I agree, everything is typed now, but there are still some benefits. I guess it's kind of like the argument of why do kids need to know how to add quickly in their heads if we have calculators.[/quote]
