[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha, I wish my kid had learned how to write cursive. We barely had printing down at our local ES before 3rd grade.[/quote] Why? It's a useless antiquated skill [/quote] It's excellent for eye-hand coordination. it trains the brain to learn functional specialization. It allows for faster note-taking, which when done by hand, increases knowledge retention. It's easier for dyslexic people to read/process. [/quote] I don't think one thing in here is actually true. Cursive is a holdover from when people used fountain pens and picking the pen up and down meant ink blots.[/quote] Every single thing about how we write is a holdover from the earliest written language. Every. Single. Thing. [/quote] Which doesn't mean it still needs to be part of limited instructional time.[/quote]
