We Should Be Cursive In School
So this is an argumentative essay is based upon whether we should still be learning cursive in school. Why should we? I don't think we should learn it because all of the state testing is on a computer, in most schools students have personal laptops to turn assignments in on and last but not least half of the teachers and staff can't write in cursive so how would they teach students to? I think it is completely fine that now 41 states no longer require students to learn cursive and I'll support that throughout my essay. One of the main reasons I believe we should not be required to learn cursive is because today students use laptops and other technology to do assignments on and ect. We rarely do book work or write anything on paper anymore.

I feel as is cursive should be more of an elective for elementary students. For some personal experience when I learned cursive I was pretty young and after we learned it I have never used it other than for a signature, that's why it shouldn't be required it should be a choice or you would call it an elective. For example, like I said in my introduction that now 41 states don't require students to learn it in school if we don't need it to graduate why fight to keep it. Now many people think we should keep cursive to improve handwriting. But is that really important? It's not important when we constantly use laptops for assignments like essays, like I'm doing right now. So why would it matter what your handwriting looks like if all you'll do is type for the rest of the years of school you have. I have heard teachers say myself that in the next couple of years there will be no more writing in notebooks everything will be on the computer. To end this argument I would just like to summarize that obviously I don't think we should be required to learn cursive. It is not important if it's not on state testing, technology has taken over and most staff and teachers don't even know how to write cursive. I think cursive has died and that it's for the
