Many are upset that the skill of cursive handwriting is vanishing and that few schools even teach it to kids anymore. But for others, it's like a curse being lifted. Here's why.
The development of written forms of language, the printing press, and the internet all changed the way we as humans communicate.Learning to write in cursive was once a staple of elementary education but is no longer a necessary skill in the modern world.magazine recently ran an article on the demise of cursive writing, and judging from the letters to the editor, there are still many people who believe that the inability to write in cursive is a lifelong handicap.
Needless to say, my report cards were usually stellar, except for the dreaded handwriting grade. Despite dutifully struggling to hold my pencil correctly while tracing letters, my printing was barely legible, and my cursive letters straggled all over the page. Try as I might, my handwriting never really improved.
All of this is not to say that I don’t see why people value cursive writing. To me, it is a beautiful art form practiced by people with the skill and time to devote to it. But it is not a necessary academic or intellectual skill in the modern world.
