[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am much slower in cursive - always was. I take notes in block print and cannot recall the last time I used cursive aside from signature. And honestly, even doing my "real" signature means I have to go slot - vs. the "scribble" version I normally use. I fail to see how it's a time saver and I fail to see how this is a critical skill my kids need. My gramma writes me letters in cursive. Otherwise I do not encourter it in real life at all.[/quote] Chances are you are slower in cursive since you were not required to use it for many years. Cursive should be taught first in kindergarten instead of print and students should be required to do all handwritten work in cursive for multiple years. It really is not that difficult. Keyboarding can also be taught, but young children should do most of their work in cursive.[/quote]
