The Fate of Cursive Handwriting




I learned how to write in cursive when I was in the third grade. Mrs. Mumford would use a special tool to draw lines on the chalkboard.  Then, we would practice our ABCs and different words in cursive.  I can write in cursive fairly well thanks to Mrs. Mumford.  However, not many students today are learning the fine art of penmanship.  The students in my Period 7 class recently read this article about the removal and resurgence of cursive in the school curriculum.  Please take our Google Docs survey and weigh in on the issue!
