Cursive Vs Print Handwriting Which Helps Students Learn Faster

[@Pulkit__7]

As someone who grew up in another part of world, where we were taught cursive handwriting from young age, and now I live in North America, what I see is that everyone is using print writing. It is hard for people here to understand my handwriting, which would lead to me being left behind, in a way, that even during interviews, I can see being judged. Imagine working with someone where you might need to use whiteboard, and you can't understand your coworkers handwriting. This made me think, I need to improve my PRINT handwriting, but to me PRINT has always been, something when I need to write in capital letters. So, I starting writing a b c d in small print format. I think, writing print or cursive although each of them have their advantage and/or disadvantage, is mainly influenced on which part of world, you do your studying mostly, and everyone should know how to write in both ways. As both have their own importances.

As always keep it up! Definitely tm. Cursive but it does take longer to teach

[@nicolesantamariaot]

Thanks for your comment. I always write in cursive too.

As a dyslexic who was trained by a professional, I can confirm I learned cursive, not print. I wrote only in cursive throughout grade school until i went to high school. After I had the audacity to go to the principal because all my teachers wouldn't accept cursive (no exceptions) and was told I had to print. I should have used a crayon at that point, at least then the papers I had to redo because they were unreadable would have Ben whimsical. Tldr: I hate handwriting print.

What happened after? Did your school let you write in cursive? I am so invested

[@zdgoat8888]

@Pulkit__7 No, they sided with the teachers. They actually told me I should type and print my assignments. Like write by hand in class because I couldn't leave. Then on my own time, retype everything at the library and print it, which wasn't free BTW. I ended up just printing by hand and getting points marked off for penmanship and spelling mistakes I would not have done in cursive.

Please show me a study how much time I will save using cursive versus using print. Is it 5% faster is it 10% faster or even 50% 😂 that's the only thing we care about 🎉

[@nicolesantamariaot]

Thanks for your comment!

[@nicolesantamariaot]

Ohh such a good question! But I'm guessing it will be different for each individual. If you time yourself let us know which was faster.

[@freegender930]

@@nicolesantamariaot I finally found one video it showed that writing out a paragraph cursive was 10 seconds faster other than that all studies conclude that there's no difference between cursive speed and print speed also why do I have to look it up aren't you a teacher that should know this information ?

In my experience, once cursive becomes second nature, you save approximately a tenth of a second per letter (rough average). If a 1000 word text has 4700 letters, you save 470 seconds which is 7.8 minutes. This is a major difference in my opinion

[@freegender930]

@@lalalahamesfirieinchipotle that's astonishing since no studies can show that conclusion
