I am extremely happy that I came across this course. As someone who is very involved with technology... I have always thought that whatever the easiest form of communication for a child is the best. While this may be true in some cases, it is very cool to learn the actually impact penmanship, specifically cursive can have on someone's development.

This course definitely made me rethink my stance on how important cursive writing is. I think my main obstacle is that there is little value in school systems regarding cursive, therefore it often seems like a waste of time. Growing up in Germany, where cursive was the first writing style I learned, I know that cursive makes more sense than manuscript writing. Especially when we look at developmental writing, such as bottom to top formation in the early years. It is also so much easier to organize words within sentences, as you have to stop after each word, whereas each word is its own unit. Thank you for shedding a new light on cursive writing, I will definitely advocate for it more again (as I did in past years).
