buenosdiaz Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 We were all taught it was super important in elementary school right? Give us some demographic info so we can try to figure out if writing in cursive is dying off with the new generation (I personally don't think it is, even though I write in print) If you have kids, are they stressing the importance of cursive in grade school still? Do you even handwrite anymore? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buenosdiaz Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 i put a facebook status up about the margins in my used textbooks being written in cursive saying "who still writes in cursive" and like 3 people wrote back saying they do and everyone does and its more efficient than print lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 When I took the PRAXIS for my teaching license, the test requires that the taker copy a full page of text in cursive, then sign it (it's an honor code kind of thing). It has to be in cursive. I couldn't even remember how to do certain letters. I had to fake it. I've heard stories from other teachers of having to wait like 20 minutes to start the test because somebody in the group was struggling so much with the cursive writing.

Stew Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I start out in one, but letters of the other always sneak their way into the mix. It doesnt matter if Im writing cursive or print, either way ill spice it up a little with some of the other. Not intentional, just lazy. Z's I always hit cursive for some reason, same with S's... however I write A's kinda wierd. I do write all my lower case A's like this: a. I print that. ::whoknows:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buenosdiaz Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 also..it was mostly girls that replied praising cursive that may be it as well...in that case an ES poll wouldn't really answer anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanCollins Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Print, I write estimates and contracts every day and my printing is very good. A good way to learn to print well is with a stensil. I took several drafting classes, at Nova in the '80's, and using a stensil to print on drawings trains you to print well, if you care to. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I use both(including a mix),but cursive is my default writing style.Thank God for computers This. When I HAVE to handwrite, if it's for my own purposes, it's cursive (except some capital letters which I never got). If it's for others, I use print (though it's more like unconnected cursive letters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I write in cursive since the 4th grade. Generation of Twits and Generation Ipod are apt to take the slacker way out and print which is pathetic when you realize even West Virginians now write their names in cursive instead of using an X or squiggly branding symbols.
