Should elementary schools continue to teach cursive writing ?-Jacob Simard

     Just like me, many students were forced to learn how to read and write in cursive writing, but is this really beneficial for our future? One of the many reasons why cursive writing is not useful for our future is because soon the electronics will be everywhere and we will only use electronic devices to write things. Also many people has bad hand writing in the first place. So why make them write in cursive writing which is already hard to understand even though it is well written. Meanwhile kids could be learning even more useful things in class that would really affect their future. Cursive writing should not be teached anymore.
   
    The main reason why cursive writing should not be taught anymore in elementary schools is because we are living in a world where we are constantly evolving. Electronic devices are taking on over the world and soon we will all be using electronic devices to work. Schools will start using electronic devices for students to work on, even companies will be using these for their employees. Besides writing on a electronic device is twice as fast as hand writing so students and employers will do twice the work they usually did. As you can see their are only good things about using electronic devices. It will make the world a better place.
   
     Secondly, half the people I know has absolutely messy writing that we can barely understand so why make them write in an even more complicated writing style. Cursive writing today is almost never used in the exception of your signature. Also I cannot even imagine teachers trying to read bad hand writing, why give them more trouble with bad cursive handwriting. All the odds are against cursive writing.

     Learning kids to write cursive writing is just a complete waste of time and effort. Just like me they will not remember anything of what they learned because they were focused on more important things in school. Also  the students could of learned way more important things that were actually important for them later on in life but instead we make them learn cursive writing that will do nothing good for them because they will all be using electronic devices to write as they get older.

     To conclude, cursive writing is  totally useless, soon everybody will use electronic devices to write, print writing is way easier to understand even with messy handwriting and we could use the time of learning cursive writing into a more educational use. Stop teaching cursive writing.
