I think students should learn cursive because one you save electricity instead of being on the computer and you can be more creative on paper then on a keyboard.Also I think kids should learn cursive because I think its a super cool handwriting.

I think that students don't have to learn cursive. Students shouldn't learn cursive because in the future you will have to type your essays on the computer. It is very important to learn how to type.

I think students should and they shouldnt know how to write in cursiv.I think they should because if they have to write their own signiture down.and another reason i think students should know how to write in cursiv is because it is fun.And the handwriting is COOL.

I thinck that kids learn enough typing skill on theire own time at the friends house or thier house.Kids should learn cursive beacuse if youare president u need to sighn your name in cursive not print.If you work for the goverment u need to sighn in curisive.Like me i spend time doing my home work on the computer my mom spends alot of time on the computer adults and kids should learn it is is a life learned skill.It needs to be used for the world there would be no money for the people that need with thier checks.to me thier is no down side to learning cursive tier is onlyan updise u learn typing out of school peope lived years ago with out a computer is was pen and paper. Do we need a computer to live no we need writting and reading skills not typing. If you want to learn type learn how to apply for collage and take computer classes. Be a computer manufactour larn hoe to make a computer make sure it types. thats my opion.Whats yours?

I think that kids should learn cursive because if their parents don't know how to write in cursive, the kids can teach them so that way the parents can have their own signature.They should also learn cursive so they can have their own signatures to sign their own checks and sometimes their bills.Kids can have a learning opportunity of cursive handwriting.This is MY opinion and NOBODY can say a peep about it.
