Cursive Poem by anais vionet

Cursive

Rating: 4.0


I want to say something about cursive writing (this might seem random) .

I've seen articles saying that cursive writing is a "dead art, " that computers have destined it for oblivion and questioning whether cursive writing should be taught in schools now-a-days.

But if you plan to go to college - relearn it and practice it, because you'll need it.

Random hot fact. The first time you have to handwrite a multiple-question essay test - where each answer requires five hundred to a thousand words (a written page) - handwriting, in block letters, is unsustainable.

Your hand will literally cramp up - dog, you'll suffer, your essays will suffer and so will your grade.

Writing in cursive is faster than block lettering and with a little practice, it's effortless.

My sister told me this once, and this morning, as I watched other students, one third of the way into our essay test, grimacing and flexing their aching hands - I just smiled to myself.

Yeah, you can thank me later.

NOW I think I know why you used 'questioning'. If you want to use 'questioning', I suggest you break the LONG sentence into TWO. See what I mean? and you've a misplaced quotation mark. ;)

Ok, anais, you were smiling because you avoided having a cramp(s) . You weren't 'laughing at the block-letter kids. WERE you? This is a worthwhile topic to put before us. bri ;)
