Should we still have kids learning cursive? What's the point?

Being able to read your country's own constituion helps

Motor development.

Write faster so that when you have an old school professor that won't let you use a laptop, you can still keep up.

Good answers. Plus the whole "writing is obsolete" meme is a joke. Writing will be around for at least another 500 years.

Hand writing in general is literally irrelevant at this point.

What kind of third world shithole are you---oh

its how we will communicate during the race war user

blacks can read it
niggers can't

Kids should be taught how to read cursive, but teaching it would be a waste of time.

It's embarrassing because to any other european language speakers it looks like arabic shit.

Yes. Along with how to sew, change a tire, balance a checkbook, cook, and how to handle credit.

I remember when they tried to teach us cursive in the third grade. I saw it was bullshit and a waste of time from the get go and refused to participate. My teacher eventually pulled me aside and said if I didn't learn it id be held back. When the test came I just got creative and scribbled a bunch of bullshit. I got promoted to the fourth grade anyway.

Ameriblubber education everyone. Literally can't make this shit up.

kek

>What's the point?
To weed out you lazy liberal millennial communists!

We'll need it for passing notes in the upcoming race war
Niggers can't read it, it's called cracker runes.

After a recent trip to Washington DC., I have wondered if this isn't EXACTLY why.

Already the push toward the Constitution being 'outdated'. If you can't read it, they could start making it say anything they wanted it to say. In 100 years, people may forget its full intent.

>common core

you really showed them faggot.

>You can easily find the full text online.
>You can easily find jewish muslim edits to deceive you online

Teach them how to read it at least.

Leave writing it to an elective class in highschool like caligraphy

>they try to teach you how to write correctly
>LOOK EVERYONE I'M A REBEL XDDDDDDDDD

correct Juan

>Teaching children how to write in high school

Holy shit.

2nd or 3rd grade at the very latest, and yes. Yes it should be taught.

signature/autograph

>develops motor skills
>faster
>less fatigue if you're writing a lot (note: this was important before typewriters and computers came around). The more you write the better you get at it (in terms of appearance and content).
>it can be aesthetic as fuck
>written notes are more accurately recalled than notes typed on a keyboard

anyone who thinks cursive is useless is branded a philistine

No obviously it's a waste of time. Never used it once in my adult life other than to sign my name.

You guys will be the death of us all. Nothing to be proud about tbqfh

What's the point in dedication to fine writing? We should set low standards!

Fuck this degenerate shit.

After learning cursive when I was a kid I realized it was stupid and stopped writing cursive.

I use to always write in cursive and then people kept complaining not being able to read it. So I started to write standard for the public and kept it ugly and unreadable. In my private I still write in cursive and it look amazing.

When someone asks me to rewrite what I've written because they can't read cursive, I rewrite it in huge, capitalized, double spaced child writing.
Sad part is most of them say "thanks, that was a lot easier".

When I studied abroad I was very surprised that canadians couldnt barely read/write cursive. Its pretty much mandatory here after 3rd or 4rd grade. You need to write fast for essays during the univeristies entrance exams.
Even functional illiterate people use cursive.

How will we sign our names?

Like a 6 year old does?

Wow you're such a badass I wish I was as cool as you.

>im the only person around me that can read cursive
>everyone uses me as the cursive translator

I suppose since we will be spending much more time in the future teaching immigrant children to speak English in the first place, it might be asking too much to learn two writing styles....

When people try to read my cursive writing, they'll yell at me saying "I ain't a fucking pharmacist"

Writing cursive is essentially calligraphy at this point. There's nothing wrong with that, and loads of research to suggest that practicing it benefits you in more ways than making your handwriting better.

But honestly, aside from signing a document, there's little practical use for cursive, so I don't think it wise to make it mandatory. Even then, most people don't truly write their names in cursive when signing, it's usually just scribbling that loosely approximates cursive (or doesn't even try, I couldn't count how many famous signatures don't even attempt to resemble cursive)

To fuck with foreigners who are trying to learn our language. They just learn to print, then Pow mother fucker! Try to figure this shit out.

You write faster

By the way, pic related is a more accurate version of cursive(look at 'F' and 'T')

>Teach kids to write cursive
>MILITARY TEACHES YOU TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS
>Professionals teach you to type
>Writing is only left for note taking
Cursive is outdated and has no use in a world that has work specific writing

THIS.

you idiots in this age with your rented books that evaporate into the ether are cucking yourselves into irrelevance.

This fucking leaf gets it.

Gen Z cannot read my handwriting either. So in the future, when free speech is violated completely by the sandniggers, I can talk shit about them without the cuck generation being able to read it.

98fag here, and I gotta say definitely.

I mean shit, you gotta be able to sign your name for shit. Barely managed to learn enough cursive in elementary school for that before they stopped teaching it.

I only write cursive, but most classmates have given up on it a long time ago. I don't think they teach it anymore either which is sad. Regular writing feels so slow and girly.

If you even write enough to use it.

Ever since high school I have never had to write anything longer than a paragraph. I either type everything or had to do writing specific to my job which required me to write in all caps block letters

>adopt cursive completely from second grade on, looks good
>everyone shits on it for all of school, becomes increasingly irrelevant/forgotten
>print handwriting still looks like a second graders

Welp

This. You have to read the original texts or the Jews will fuck you over like they did with the bible.

Analects:[3:17] Zi Gong wanted to do away with the sacrifice of the sheep on the first of the month. Confucius said, “Ci, you love the sheep; I love the ceremony.”

Liberal progressivism, whether anyone likes to believe it or not, was born from classical liberalism (What we now call "libertarianism"). The goal of the self-interested is to import a doctor from India, and he brings his family; the wife gets an eye disease and they get a specialist from China; the Chinese guy brings his family, but they need a place to stay, so they get Mexican carpenters to build them a house; the Mexicans have no food, so they ask for handouts; thus the self-interested pay the price of having a society without people who are social-interested.

Okay, I probably didn't need to write all that. But the reason we ought not to remove cursive for progress sake; is because if we live by progress, it will kill us. If we keep writing cursive, we learn a lesson for education sake.

I did the opposite. I just printed everything because my handwriting was so terrible originally that was the only way of making it so that the teachers could read it.
It probably helped that literally everything I read was in print so there was little need to learn something new.

I make one j, then wildly scribble.

Asians that I've seen learning English have grossly superior penmanship in both print and cursive to almost any native writing I've seen.

I learned a few letters in third grade once and never was taught it again. There are benefits to it but it's relevance is fading pretty quick and muh motor skills can be developed somewhere else. The "writing is irrelevant" meme is retarded though

>Learn 3000 intricate designs.
>Have to learn 52 ultra basic designs.
>Whites wonder why Asian's letters are so perfect.

we learn cursive in gradeschool though

It all comes down to how fast you type nowadays.

I remember growing up with cursive and having to learn how to type later. Shit was hard. Now typing is easy and cursive is hard to write but easy to read.

I'm 31

Everyone learned cursive at school. It's a useful skill to have for fast note-taking.

>muh laptop

Pen and paper is far less fallible than an intricate device reliant on electricity. Cursive will always have its place and you people denouncing it as irrelevant are beyond saving

It makes insults look pretty and effeminate

It's good for taking notes quickly in college.

I like it and still use it for everything where print isn't required, but saying it's becoming irrelevant to the population at large is more factual than anything else.

To be able to read it.

t. < 50 WPM pleb

Yes and being the only one to read it. It feels good

Niggers can't read cursive. Cursive can be used as a secret language for whites to communicate in.

Yes, its not a useless skill it helps them adapt to something new. Neat writing is also important because it teaches them discipline and neatness in their everyday life. Also niggers won't be able to read their school notes

nigs literally cannot read it

Anyone have that picture of that facebook post that was pretending to praise some dead niglet but on the bottom it was calling him subhuman scum in cursive and all these black people were liking the picture into the stratosphere

It's like two posts above yours?

Right here

I have the penmanship of a monkey, but I have no trouble reading cursive. I write in print for my notes and can sign my name in cursive but that's about it.

I switched back to normal writing when I entered high school and was allowed to write whatever I wanted to. It was faster, even despite having written in cursive for 5 years.

Yes, but hispanics can - as evidenced by their tattoos, so be careful with this

I literally just do the first initial of my first name, first letter of my last name, and a big finishing letter

Everything else is just squiggly lines.

It's not hard to learn. I remember doing some simple cursive exercises in fifth grade and have never had trouble with it. I feel like that was an adequate level of instruction that we should maintain.

I've written in nothing but cursive since the 3rd grade. Not even sure I can do standard print anymore.

Top cenk

where can I see original bible and constitution text?

I had a grade school teacher that made us do daily cursive practice drill. Maybe that's why my handwriting is so nice even as an adult. Maybe that's why I love typography, hand-lettering, and calligraphy. Knowing how to manipulate script well actually pays!

>What kind of third world shithole are you---oh

You have no idea how annoying some professors are. Their excuse is that students would do things unrelated to the class (like, say, browse facebook) rather than pay attention. Although these sort of professors are mostly the old farts in the humanities and general studies faculties, where 90% of the cancerous lechers of my uni come from.

My printing was so bad that I had to use cursive in order for teachers to be able to read anything I wrote.

There is no point. They can develop their motor skills by doing something that is actually useful.

There's a reason books are not printed in italics. Cursive is objectively harder to read than printed letters. The only advantage is writing fast notes for your own consumption, but it's not enough of one, especially in the age of the computer, to merit wasting school time on it.

Fuck all tradtion amirite?

disgusting retard

>why do I need to learn to walk when we have wheelchairs
>it's current year!

It's important to be able to read the old stuff without having to take somebody else's word for it.

As for why it became common in the first place, I'm not sure. It's too busy and sloppy looking, with too many variations, making it difficult to read, even if you have a lot of experience with it.

Walking is still useful and relevant today. Cursive is not. Public education should be as streamlined and relevant as possible. Teaching children archaic skills is not relevant; if they want to learn them, they can do it on their own time, not on the taxpayer's dime.

>read the old stuff
Which old stuff is written in cursive, that is so critical for children to read? Old stuff is written in Latin too, should children be forced to learn that, so they don't have to take anybody's word for it when they pore over medieval ecclesiastical manuscripts?

Arguably yes, but that's also a pretty big few steps beyond. Cursive is the same language.

You're literally a pleb.

Hang yourself

>Teach cursive.
>Literally typing on a computer.

Yes. Motor skills. Improves literacy rates.

What is so critical to read in cursive? It would all be primary sources; by the time students are old enough to be seeking them out, they'd be old enough to learn to read cursive.

Based. You are the kind of burger the world needs.

Except the argument in the thread is that it should not be taught.

I still practice. Writing is the only permanent form of information transfer. One war and all that 1000t of information is gone.

So niggers can't read it and white people can send notes to each other in the coming race war.

I would rather schoolchildren earn cursive than be read marxist parables all day

That is my argument. It would take a day or two for an older teenage student to learn to merely read it, because that's around the time they would be looking through primary sources as part of their education. You don't need to waste months in elementary school teaching kids to read and write in cursive, when they can just learn it on their own later if they require it, with far less effort.

Public school, if it is to exist at all, should be teaching things immediately relevant to successful life. That means cutting out all the bullshit optional things like cursive and feels studies, and adding in mechanical skills, personal finance, etc.

God damn it, I could have sworn I had it.

Anyone got the "niggers can't read cursive" pic?

Fucking computer gremlins, I swear.

That is if we live that long

moral of the story is your a grown man who can't even read your own language

Congratulations, you're a nigger.

ancient handwritten texts are important.
also you can create your own fonts based on your calligraphy and make anything look a little better
