Which one is easier to read? Cursive writing shouldn't be taught in any primary schools. Cursive writing also known as joined-up writing or running writing is letters joined up in
order to make writing  easier and faster and a word one single complex stroke. It shouldn't be used because it is a waste of time, people have a different type of cursive which makes it hard to understand and cursive is slowly disappearing.

To begin with, teaching Math, French, English is more important than cursive writing. This is why It is a waste of time. Students often struggle and take time to adopt the flow. This wasted time should be used to teach other subjects such as Math, English and French. It took my class in 6th grade 1 year to learn cursive writing and some still couldn't write properly. Putting into account that I learned cursive writing 3 years ago, today I have difficulty writing properly and remembering each letter in cursive. Unfortunately, this isn't only me that has this problem so if more and more kids forget how to write it than why are we teaching it?

Secondly, everybody learned cursive differently which makes the writing differnet for everyone. So what if someone misunderstands a word this could create a conflict with the letter sent by anybody. What if I receive a letter from anybody writtin in cursive and the writting isn't clear what am I supposed to do? What if the letter was important but In can't read it? Everything should be writtin or asked to be writtin in simple letters because some people won't be able to write properly or will struggle. Simple letters is simple clean,and neat. Pretty much is able to write and read it.

Lastely, cursive writing is rarely seen. Newpapers, do not use cursive writing because simple letters is familiar for everyone. Students who have school workbooks, textbooks, are all using simple letters. since it is rarely used, primary schools should not teach cursive writing, Facebook, television, media in general is not using cursive writting because it's slowly disapearing. If it's slowly disapearing then what is the utility of learning it? The media is everywhere so people are used to see simple letters ans kids are exposed to media everyday and no cursive writing is seen.

In conclusion, cursive writing should not be taught in primary schools. It is a waste of time, people have different ways to write which makes it hard to read and it is gradually disapearing. Now look around do you see any cursive writing? That's right, than why are we teaching we teaching them how to write it?
