Is Cursive Writing Still Relevant?


Do you think cursive writing should still be taught in schools?  That's a great question.  Today's kids write on computers, cell phones, and tablets, using keyboards.  Do they still need to learn to write by hand?  Check out this article by Audrey Watters on MediaShift, "In the Digital Age, Is Teaching Cursive Relevant?"  See what you think.  

I still think cursive is very relevant.  Why does everything have to be either/or?  Cursive is faster than printing by hand, and sometimes it's just the best "tool" available.
