Cursive Writing
Do you realize that cursive writing is not helping us but torturing us instead? Cursive writing should not be taught because it is becoming less and less popular. It is difficult to read.

This is why we should not relearn cursive handwriting.
In conclusion, there is no point for Mrs. Steele to teach us cursive handwriting. We have learned it since second grade, the legibility is very difficult, and the popularity is decreasing. Do you really think we should relearn cursive
