Should handwriting be taught in school?
)
January 6th, 2014
The Common Core curriculum does not include teaching cursive handwriting and several states have given objections.
My handwriting has always been awful, to the extent that I sometimes have trouble reading what I write. At some point, I gave up on cursive writing and use a hybrid of printing and script which, truth be told, was not much of an improvement. I really do wish that I could write better.
I like to write things down when I work on a problem. I can use a keyboard for this, but writing works better. I don’t think that schools should give grades for handwriting, but I don’t see anything wrong with devoting 15 to 20 minutes a day to practicing it in the early primary school grades.
