“Non-cursive writing” is called printing. I thought everyone knew that. When a document asks for your name and says PLEASE PRINT, what do you think that means?
I can still write in cursive but not the best. My Dad can write beautifully in print and cursive; his hand writing looks like the writing you see in cards for sale in stores, but better.
I’m watching cursive and calligraphy videos on u tube and it’s so relaxing. Intend to buy a fountain pen soon. I’ve been using sealing wax on my birthday and Christmas cards and everyone gets so excited when they receive one. Small things mean a lot
58 YEARS OLD - Know Cursive, Calligraphy & Shorthand. It's a shame all of these are going to be lost arts. I have taught interested nieces & nephews how...
It's a real shame kids today aren't learning cursive. It's a necessary skill when transcribing telegraph messages. Not sure they'll be able to get a job as a telegraph operator without learning cursive...
It isnt that we dont think we need cursive later in life we just dont see the point. Its not taught in a fun way and it makes kids hate it and not remember it as easily
Point people miss. These young people won't be able to read very old documents since most were handwritten. They won't be able to read our Founding documents. Well, the video did mention it.
if i have a child, i will be teaching him/her how to write in cursive. i’ve been writing in cursive since 2nd grade and has never stopped. it’s just faster and neater for me. to me, it’s art.
I took French in middle school and I wrote everything down that was going to be on the dictation the next day and it was easier than just reading the lesson.
0:35 Well those people would be completely right. I use regular writing MAYBE 2-3 times a month & that is just a quick few words for a post it note. Instruction time is limited so important skills need to be focused on. If a student wants to learn cursive, they have the internet. They can learn it on their own time
Blame the school system It's not completely their fault they don't teach it in schools. They don't teach a lot of things in schools America is not at the top for education It's people who think Africa is a country, not a continent
Really sad … I was child in my 1970s they took the time to teach us but teachers don’t have the time with our new generation of kids , of course it’s the school board and let’s not talk about teaching them the times tables … which is the foundation of math … it’s crazy .. teachers wants you rush your work too… no time to let it sink in to really understand it … I respect teachers but it’s gotten where it’s about the scores and testing numbers for students… good luck teachers it’s not an easy job …
To be brutally honest, I simply tell young people that cursive and good handwriting is important because it's not good to be a grown adult who writes like a toddler.
The argument that Cursive helps your brain is very misleading. What helps your brain is writing thing with your hand. Which means writing in print is just as helpful to the brain as cursive is
They're like in with the new and out with the old. One day, no one will be able to interpret it. Just like ancient languages... They don't want your descendants to know what happened... to even us.
I had the worse cursive in school. My daughter wasn’t taught it and she actually thinks it’s great. Her eyes never seen enough cursives to be judgmental/critical.
1:10 - When the grand national cursive champion uses phrases like "more faster" I lose a slight amount of faith in our education systems. But it was a writing competition, not grammar, and she's a kid. I guess my standards are a bit high. Whatever..
What is the reason to learn cursive when some children in the video were holding their pencils as hard as they can and were bending over their desks that the distance between their eyes and the paper was like 3 inches. This is just unhealthy.
Don't bother trying to read the original Declaration of Independence or US Constitution which were both handwritte n in 18th century cursive. Don't bother looking up original docs about your ancestry either. Many of those were handwritten as well.
@@yvonneplant9434 I know how to write in cursive. Im saying teach someone of the financial system, that applies in the real world. Useful knowledge, instead of luxury learning that should be reserved for folks to choose to pursue such.
@@yvonneplant9434 Oh I'm sorry, I was unaware you read only the original bible written in Aramaic, or the Odyssey in homeric greek, Or gilgamesh in Akadian . your point is obtuse and facetious. Language is a constantly evolving thing. English spoken 6-700 years ago sounds nothing like english spoken today. there were come a time our own language evolves into something we be able to comprehend, and those future generations won't know how to read the original document anyway. Thats why we transcribe things constantly into the modern standard and leaves the dead languages to scholars. Stop holding the human race back in the past.
it is a skill that should not be forgotten

"Regular" SMH...
cursive writing that shapes the brain ... i love writing in cursive.
Sweet girl. Looks like a future teacher. And thanks to the presenters. Rather good idea to write in cursive at once!
wow she went right into it (1:20) :
"I think it's pretty good, but I think I've noticed..."
That was hilarious. Kids are so honest, lol
I’m 25 and I find cursive much more efficient than writing in print. It’s just faster
Perfect for taking notes!
I’m 17 almost 18 and I have never wrote in that stuff since I was kid and can’t understand it.
I only use cursive to sign or write in formal papers and documents, I write in print more just because it's faster for me
Bring back cursive hand writing
I still use cursive every day.
Me too! I write everything in longhand. A lot of the young guys who work for me can't read it.
I can still write in cursive but not the best. My Dad can write beautifully in print and cursive; his hand writing looks like the writing you see in cards for sale in stores, but better.
Pretty soon the title will be The lost art of writing
Ten more years
I’m 21 male, and love to write in cursive.
I’m watching cursive and calligraphy videos on u tube and it’s so relaxing. Intend to buy a fountain pen soon. I’ve been using sealing wax on my birthday and Christmas cards and everyone gets so excited when they receive one. Small things mean a lot

Artificial Intelligence is turning Humans into Analphabetic Beasts of Rage...
That's all I write in ever since I was a teen. My print writing sucks, my cursive looks great.
Wow amazing and people are so lucky that know cursive 😭. I wish I can learn that when I was elementary
You can still learn it. It's never too late 😉💖
It's the most useless skill you could ever spend time learning. Haven't used it in 20 years, other than writing my signature
I use cursive everyday! It’s easy to learn also, takes practice to get a good style going. UA-cam has teaching videos if your interested.
I want my kid focused on math and science, reading and math. Not fancy handwriting. She can learn that in her private time if she chooses.
It's a real shame kids today aren't learning cursive. It's a necessary skill when transcribing telegraph messages. Not sure they'll be able to get a job as a telegraph operator without learning cursive...
Lost Art. Like too many. Like:
BEING CIVILIZED!!!🗽
I grew up up writing cursive, the true lost art
So much Technology that's turning Humans into Analphabetic Beasts of Rage...
I didn’t know that there is a cursive championship 👁️👁️
They used to be like spelling bees. Pretty common.
It isnt that we dont think we need cursive later in life we just dont see the point. Its not taught in a fun way and it makes kids hate it and not remember it as easily
I never stopped
Writing in cursive is definitely fun for me
Writing connects your brain.
Point people miss. These young people won't be able to read very old documents since most were handwritten. They won't be able to read our Founding documents.

My mother taught me to write in cursive before I started kindergarten. Honest truth, now I have a difficult time printing.
Same!!!!! When I print something I have to really think. Not with cursive. It's automatic.
Cursive hadwriting has gone lost in the US, not necessarily elsewhere. The world is larger than the USA.
i totally agree with you
This is a US broadcast...
@@Tj11813 Yeah, that's why it lacks perspective.
@@majy1735 Keep moving those goalposts.
One day there will be a documentary about this called Who Killed Cursive?
Bill O'Reilly's next book, maybe? "Killing Cursive."
I took French in middle school and I wrote everything down that was going to be on the dictation the next day and it was easier than just reading the lesson.
Cursive? They taught us Gregg shorthand in the 4th grade.
There should be an app for that!
The lady in the white has fantastic cursive!
I only write in cursive ♥️ I’ve always loved it ever since grade school
Writing is a creative, cathartic exercise. We mustn't forget the benefit of graphology! 😉
0:35 Well those people would be completely right. I use regular writing MAYBE 2-3 times a month & that is just a quick few words for a post it note.

I love writing in cursive! Congratulations Kaitlyn! You go girl!
Maybe schools ought to reinitiate teaching this in classrooms.
who wrote in cursive after watching this video lol
I wrote before the video and shall continue to do so after.
The fact that younger people can't write cursive, is ignorance personified.
Blame the school system
It's not completely their fault they don't teach it in schools.
They don't teach a lot of things in schools
America is not at the top for education
It's people who think Africa is a country, not a continent

My 23yr old grandson was never taught cursive in school
One more proof of the ongoing decadence.

After being belittled by teachers in school for having difficulty with cursive, I am so happy to see it die.
They're like in with the new and out with the old. One day, no one will be able to interpret it. Just like ancient languages... They don't want your descendants to know what happened... to even us.

They had to remove a few grammar lessons to fit cursive in the curriculum
I don’t use cursive anymore I didn’t even like it in school lol 😂
what types of cursive it that?
come on now im not that old
Technology is the reason
Yessssssss so true, !!!technology will be our downfall.
Hated learning this
Boo hoo....
I write cursive every day and I spend 30mins. or more daily.
I remember girls always having the best penmanship. 👑 Jesus is Lord. 🕊
They should call it swirly writing.
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

2 much time teaching kids to be trans in school instead & safe spaces that didn't work
Cursive spelling boo ha ha
Cursive? What is that and what is Handwriting? Not sure whatever that all means. I use computers, laptops and my smartphone like normal people
Cursive is a useless skill and takes away time for more important skills in school
Makes difference in adult life
Such as what ? Common core they won’t remember anyway ?
Cursive is not fun to read.
It's not an art, it's a font. And it's useless.
Don't try to sell me your opinions, news station. Just report facts, please.
What’s the point of it, it’s archaic and there’s no need for it today.
Waste of time.
