I don`t see why teachers teach us kids cursive, but I think it's pretty cool.
I learned a big q in cursive, and it was neat. My neighbor, Mrs. Williams, showed me. I wish my teacher would teach me cursive. We'll probably do cursive in the middle or end of the year. I wish I could write a letter to someone in cursive. I like cursive because you never lift your pen from the paper and some letters don't even look like they would in normal writing. My friend, Polly, has to do her homework in cursive sometimes. It's kind of strange that back in 1774 people wrote in cursive a lot more than we do now. Now we don't use cursive as much because we've invented the block writing like this computer writes. I wish my little brother knew how to read cursive then we could pass notes across Celia without her knowing. Again, I wonder why teachers still teach cursive because it's not like we're going to use it that much. A lot of writing is done on the computer today anyway.
And that's what I think about cursive.
