  • What do you think of the expression "basic knowledge"?

  • Its well studied and in fact has many benefits. You're just mad your cursive looked like shit and the teacher called you up to her desk in frustration as she tried to decipher an s from a r on your work.

    Cursive writing helps improve brain development, memory retention, and fine motor skills.

    Brain and Cognitive Growth

    Stronger neural connections: Writing in cursive engages both sides of the brain, unlike typing or standard print.

    Better memory: The continuous motion of linking letters helps students remember words and grasp new concepts.

    Aids learning challenges: The fluid style helps students who deal with dyslexia or dysgraphia by treating each word as a single connected unit.

    Motor Skills and Writing Ease

    Finer hand control: Shaping connected letters builds hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity.

    Less hand fatigue: Smooth, flowing lines reduce the stop-and-start stress common in regular print writing.

    Fewer letter reversals: Connected motion stops young children from confusing similar letters like "b" and "d".

    Practical Uses

    Reading history: Knowing cursive allows people to read old family letters, journals, and major historical papers.

    Personal signatures: It gives individuals a reliable way to sign official forms, checks, and legal documents.

  • Fair argument. Just wanted to point out that cursive has actual academic benefits. For one thing writing and drawing use both halves of the brain and since cursive is a form of drawing it engages both sides better than writing alone would. The information has a better chance of being retained that way.

    Taking notes by hand also improves the odds of the information being retained with the added benefit of having a hardcopy to look back on if you forget. Like a grocery list. Taking notes is labor intensive so cursive was developed as a way to quickly write. Thats the whole point of it.

    Luckily some schools are bringing back paper and pencil and teaching cursive because of the unmitigated disaster digital-only schooling has proven itself to be.

    Edit Added some of the documented benefits of cursive handwriting since so many people are calling me out. Yes, cursive is good for you. Practice it, take time and improve the letters you write sloppily and you'll learn to love it. I know, I was once like you and had to work to improve my cursive and now I love it.

  • The article failed to mention that Mike Johnson said they'd did a "phenomenal job" in a sarcastic voice while he rolled his eyes and did the quotation marks sign with his fingers.
