A Waste of Learning Time by Maxime Paquet

Cursive writing, was it a fun and exciting  subject to learn about and more importantly, was it worth learning? The answer is probably no. Cursive is not necessarily required and/or useful in adult life. It wastes a part of elementary school that could be used to learn other things or improve other subjects. Cursive writing is rarely used in other years of our life other than elementary school.


To start off cursive is a waste of time. This time could be used to improve other learning subjects. Elementary school students could even learn other subjects. When I think back to cursive writing I can only remember checking the clock since it was such a boring class. After grade 4 I never heard of cursive writing nor had to write in cursive. Our cycle 2 teacher said it was important and would be greatly used in high school. My cycle 3 teacher did not even mention cursive ounce! So what use those it have? If it would still be used this blog would not even had existed.

Secondly when we enter high school it is not even used. We can choose to write like this but it limits to that. How can it be on cycle 2 subjects if it is not used later? Most people don't remember how write in cursive. Cursive writing is also more complicated to learn and harder to remember. As the way life goes, it is so not used that it will probably not be taught any more. If people don't use cursive, they will forget how to use it.

To conclude, cursive wastes learning time and is not of a great use in the future. Cursive writing wastes part of the learning time and is not required in adult life. The first reason is I consider it a loss of time. The second reason is it only relates to cycle 2. How great, wasting time, scratching our heads to learn cursive while it is not even used.
