Cursive writing should come a distant, distant second
By:Rheno747
In Response To: Teaching of cursive writing (Chunping Wu)
I'd not teach cursive writing until I know my students know how to write period. Thai students are awfully good at creating new ways to fool teachers. I can see myself trying to teach cursive writing parallel to normal writing here. What a nightmare that would be.
Lets see, what sneaky trick would my students use in the cursive class? They'd write sloppily so I couldn't really tell what they wrote, more than likely. Illegible writing can't be discerned, so it must be 'right', in their minds. I'd spend more time arguing with my students than teaching them.
No thanks.
Leave cursive writing for last.
