Argument "Aha" Moment

School curriculum is removing curside writing from schools.  Cursive handwriting is being removed from schools.  The district feels that the keyboard and cursors have taken away the writing in classrooms.  Common Core State Standards for english is removing menmanship as not being mandatory in schools.  

I disagree with that fact because you will always have to go back to basics in any field when technology fails us.  Its like building a home.  If the foundation is not there the structure will not stand or a relationship will not last without the foundation being solid.  Our foundation is the basic of cursive writing.  When you take away the cursive you are taking the "personal away" from human interaction.  There is very little human interaction because of the technology these days such as texting, blogging, email, and social websites.  Our general is forgetting how to interact with one another.  We can't write a simple note to pass back and forth because we don't know how to write cursive.  A couple can not write a simple love note to put in a partners lunch to remind them that they are important.  A person will not have the ability to take their driver license and sign their name on the application because they will not know how to write their signature.  In a daily log of the events of the day how will you write that note without taking all day writing because you don't know how to write cursive.  What happens when your doing a report and your computer system crashes.  You won't be able to write a quick note and put it in your professors box.  What happens with the simple thing of your phone or computer running out of charge and you have no way to charge it, but you can't write cursive for a quick little note.  Also what about the educationally challenged students who don't know how to use computer systems.  How will they communicate effectively if their not taught cursive writing.  Our society will become robots with only the use of technology.  It is also not fair that grammer school students are punished or penalized for writing cursive.  We always to to have the basics to fall back on.  Technology is moving so rapid and surpassed a whole lot of expections that one day it is bound to crash.  In the event of an emergency and technology is completely shut down.  How will we communicate if not in writing.  This is my "Aha" moment.  Lets keep a solid foundation.
