    When writing in cursive you use the creative side of the brain. It is artistic and a quick way to write. I think cursive should be taught in schools.

    My young niece loved my note to her in cursive because the writing was beautiful. She couldn’t read it, so she decided to learn how to write in cursive on her own. Smart girl!

  • @sarabeth3760

    I write cursive all the time and made sure my daughter (now 18) could read it. Most schools stopped teaching it but every historical document is in cursive and it’s crucial to be able to read it.

    Cursive is a standard and is required in 3rd grade. I begin teaching cursive in the beginning of the year. Cursive is more difficult to copy than manuscript. Thinking of checks it's easier for counterfeiters/fraudulent check writers to copy manuscript than Cursive. For students struggling with print as you have to stop after each letter. In Cursive it's flowing and some children are more successful with Cursive. Even though most people don't write at all anymore, there is research to show how it helps the brain. Take it or leave it.

    I love writing in cursive. They stopped teaching kids nowadays but some teachers have picked it back up again. They don't make it such a critical thing to learn like when WE were in elementary back in the day. I remember my English teacher would dissect my cursive letters......it was hardcore! 😂

    I love writing in cursive. I can't imagine not writing in cursive or not being able to read it. Just like telling time. I like knowing how to tell time on a regular clock and not just digital. Great haul by the way!

  • @SabrinasCraft-nanigans
    @SabrinasCraft-nanigans 3 місяці тому +30

    I teach third grade, and it is a requirement to teach the kids how to write in cursive. BUT it is not graded or required to write in that format. We have to spend all our time cramming information in their heads to be able to pass the state test that is way above their capabilities developmentally!🥴🥴 I could go on and on and on with a rant about this for days! Anywho, the one bad thing about cursive not being enforced a bit more is that we are getting generations that can’t write their signature nor can they read the cursive print. I am like you though, I never write in cursive except my signature! And even then, I don’t write it correctly and put my own twist on it!🤣🤣

    You need to learn cursive to read historical documents. A lost art that should have not been marginalized.

      @lindadriscoll5652 3 місяці тому +4

      There's multiple apps and programs that translate cursive into print. Takes no time at all. My grandsons learned cursive in their school as an art form. They have not had any reason to use it as of yet, but they can do it. They are 10 and 13 and write me beautiful cards in cursive. As a corporate paralegal even the contracts we have signed are all electronic DocuSign now ..for the last 10 years actually.

    Cursive is no longer taught in school. Sadly a whole generation will not be able to read historical documents in their original script. And if they can't read it then how will they know if it was changed from the original.
    I happen to love writing in cursive it just so pretty to read and look at.

    Cursive is faster than printing. I graduated in the 80s, and you wrote everything out unless you had a typewriter. Most didn't. As far as a check, you can print everything except the signature line. That has to be in cursive or they will return the check.

    I agree with the price stickers that are showing up. It is almost like they are getting ready to add other prices and are trying to have items marked clearly for transparency.
    That will make me very sad. I love the Dollar Tree for the prices always being the same throughout the store. I never have to worry about getting a price check.

    Your hair is darling! There is a study (I’d have to dig to find it) that learning to write cursive helps kids learn more-it has to do with the brain/hand coordination…. Anywho, it supports all other types of learning. I’m not sure why it was taken out of schools. Both of my sons learned to write cursive, and the oldest has beautiful handwriting.

    We do it because it's a tradition plus it can be very pretty, if done properly. It's kinda like dressing up for special occasions. Sadly we don't see that a lot anymore either. When I was a little girl here in the South we dressed up to go downtown shopping and have lunch at the Magnolia Room at Rich's ( for those of you from Atlanta)😁 Those were very special times.

      Same with my only grandson who will be turning 22 shortly. In his third grade class, they skipped the cursive writing curriculum and that is so sad to me.
      I bought the cursive alphabet cards at Dollar Tree, like teachers use in their classrooms over the whiteboards and began teaching him myself when he came to visit.
      I wrote words and sentences in cursive so that he could learn to recognize words and read in cursive. Then I had him write short sentences back for me. They were usually only three words long, but at least he was able to do it!! He thought since he didn't have to learn at school he shouldn't have to spend the time learning it with me.
      Public schools are becoming too wrapped up in teaching goals for state testing and performance rather than what they should be focusing on, the basics for a strong foundation in classroom subjects, not what is being thrown at them nowadays.

    Yep.....They are increasing prices on many things. I saw a floor fan display in my Dollar Tree for 19.99. They have many items that are 3, 5, 7 dollars and some stuff in the medicine aisle as well.😢 Prices really going all over the place there now like Family Dollar....sad.

      @@Divinediamonddexteritywhich makes no sense bc they are closing some FDs down. Seems like a bad business model to me but what do I know.

    No they don’t typically teach cursive anymore because technology has become the dominant use for communication.

    I know I’m old (70) but to me cursive is elegant and adult way to express yourself. But, we also took pride in spelling things correctly. Now because everything is done on computers and you have spell check that doesn’t matter. My major pet peeve is now math is not the computation but a lesson on how to operate a calculator. We were talking yesterday (Fathers day) about how much cell phones have changed in size and what they will do. We compared all that to the first microwave we bought. We saved for a year because it cost $450.00 and was the size of a VW Beetle ( ok not quite but it was enormous much larger than an over the range one. About that width and about18”” high. Everything changes but some changes are not as beneficial as others
