[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cursive has gone the way of calligraphy and provides no value.  Proper typing classes would be a much better use of the kids' time.  Almost anything provides more value than cursive in 2026.[/quote]

Emerging research is showing exactly the opposite.[/quote]
Source?  I call BS.  Articles/papers written to get clicks from boomers is more like it.[/quote]dp.  There are benefits of cursive.  https://extension.ucr.edu/features/cursivewriting [/quote]
The "research" article you posted only links to a blog about handwriting that bases their opinion on a different Norwegian study, which states that "handwriting" shows increased brain activity in a certain region over typing or using a touchscreen.  Printing would also be handwriting, but they purposefully didn't test that (or didn't include it because it doesn't support their narrative).  
None of these "cursive is beneficial" articles are anything more than someone trying to make their opinion look like science.[/quote]
