Why is cursive even taught?

690 views

It just makes other people’s writing harder to read. And do you really save that much time writing cursive vs in print? Like a few seconds at most. But a lot of us are taught cursive early in our lives. Why?

Fyi; this is a question about the practically of cursive, not calligraphy itself. I know a lot of cursive writing can be very pretty and readable, but most people don’t write like that

Cursive writing unites both sides of the brain. In so doing, it promotes whole brain thinking. The earlier it’s learned in life, the greater the benefits.

Writing is very technical (left brained), while the flowing motions of cursive are artistic (right brained).

By combining these elements together, the brain becomes more integrated and works together. The more you write cursive, the better you will be able to use integrated thinking in general.

Or in short terms, cursive improves your iq.
