After the invention of modern gadgets, some people stopped making so many handwritten notes. For my niece, I am encouraging her to practice handwriting with the use of cursive in English. She can do it but prefer to write in...

Yesterday, I had an appointment. They asked me to print my name on the sign-in sheet so they could read it.
Many younger people today can not read or write cursive. Schools do not teach it anymore. Most older people can.
They...

Are teachers really discouraging kids from learning cursive writing? I don't understand why. Like, is there any reasoning whatsoever? I see all these posts about it and I don't understand.
Tonight, my daughter's boyfriend came in...

Kids who can't read cursive handwriting can't read historic documents.
I had no idea since all my children are grown, that they don't have that in the curriculum.
I noticed my grandkids ask me what i wrote but always just...

No no I'm not saying it does, I'm just saying that we had rules when it came to cursive. I remember back when we first learned it either in second or third grade we were told that in Middle school we wouldn't use it as much but by...

Do you think cursive handwriting is a lost art? They still teach cursive handwriting as a required course in elementary school but it seems like as the world advances people use it less and less. Do you think cursive will go the...

Is it readable? Do you write better with manuscript or a cursive style? Can you write calligraphy? I know you can type but can you write? If you still sign your name with an X just move on by. Attach proof positive if you want.
