Technology In Public Schools

Decent Essays
I feel like it should be required for Public schools to teach their students how to write in cursive because it is an important lesson that should be used in every day life. I think that just because technology is getting more advanced it doesnt mean that everything we learned by being taught and remembered through memory shouldnt be forgotten. We should be able to use our brains and gain knowledge that can help us remember and become familiar with certain misunderstandings. When we write using our hands we use our entire brain capacity because it's a learned talent that stays in our mind. Every student in the future should have a choice on what they want to learn and dont want to learn. Some teachers dont use cursive because they …show more content…
Technology is getting so popular and growing so fast that it's changing our daily activities and taking away our freedom. Our freedom to choose how we learn the best to our ability. A lot of students who have disabilities will struggle with remembering, reading, and even understanding. We should have a mutual agreement that all students should have a say in how they want to get their education. Learning by hand and doing things that will expand our mind should be a big deal. Everybody is becoming to independent on technology that its changing our world. Thinking and learning are two main things that are brain needs to comprehend on its own with the help of constant attention. You cant learn anything if you cant understand it or remember it which is why writing in different fonts can help. There should be a balance between technology and doing things on your own. Lastly, I agree that cursive is an important, powerful brain tool. It helps people maintain their memory and comprehension. It's been proven that it has helped many people with disabilities and disorders, mental health is an important trait. Hopefully in the future technology doesnt rid of everything that helps us with life and getting our education, every student is different and learns differently. Things shouldnt be so simple we should be capable of learning on our own

    Some states are trying to bring cursive back into their school learning program, so that kids know how to use cursive. In my opinion, I think that cursive should still be taught in school today so that kids can have cursive to use if they get tired of using regular print in school. First cursive can help by taking notes faster so students will not fall behind and miss any of the notes need to take in college, Next cursive helps the left and right brain cells communicate better, lastly cursive is a skill that everybody will need to know for later in life. Also cursive makes the left and right brain cells work together so each side of your brain works better together. The brain cells working together can help because it can make think harder about stuff because of the cell communication.…

    Cursive should still be taught because studies show that 50 percent of literacy is cursive and it’s a tool that you can apply and gives you more options. Some examples to show that cursive should still be taught today are, you can write faster, you will need to write a signature, and you are more literate if you can read and write cursive. Although some people think cursive should not be taught is because everybody says that we don’t have any time for it or that we already use technology. Well, yes we have the technology, but if we only know how to use technology, then what are we to do if we find something in cursive, suppose maybe a letter from older generations, if we can’t read it because we only knew how to type. That’s just some facts of why cursive should be taught today.…

    If what the author one says is to be believed, then teaching cursive in schools would still follow the guideline of providing tools for our children to apply knowledge and skills to future endeavors. In the many conversations with my children regarding the matter, as well as other various subjects, my biggest defense was always claiming that the teachers knew better than I. After have read both the above articles I agree with the opinions both authors and think both are equally valid. Just because technology has stripped away usefulness of cursvie writing, and just because we have smart phones with calculators on them doesnt mean we should still teach the basics. Teaching cursive should be taught just as math is even though we know technology defeats the entire purpose because learning the skill is more important than how we utilize it. Teaching students how to write in cursive, in my opinion, gives the students a better grasp and can help them in…

    Cursive writing, such a wonderful art; exercises the mind, improves the speed of writing ten-fold. Not to mention the best part, you dont even have to take your pen of the paper. I understand it a dying practice, but when there is no other easy way of doing things cursive will no longer be an option if it keeps getting put to the side right along with latin. as stated in the article "Cursive Is a Powerful Brain Tool", "Medical scans show that writing in cursive helps with fine motor skill development and stimulates both left and right parts of the brain." which to me is just another type of exercise altogether.…

    No, I don't believe schools should be required to teach cursive writing. Having computer skills I feel is more important in this day and age than handwriting is because of how rapid technology is growing and how rapid technology use is increasing. Just like article 2 stated, cursive isn't really needed for much other than a written signature but as technology increases the use of a written signature is more irrelevant due to approval of electronic signatures. I do believe cursive handwriting is becoming less useful in todays society, but I do believe that there are benefits related to cursive handwriting. I agree with article 1 that cursive writing is good for our minds.…
