cursive writeing no longer a requirement.

The Ohio Department of Education removed cursive from the state's core curriculum because they say that "writing methods is replaced by the more modern keyboarding to get elementary students familiar with writing on a computer keyboard". on the website  http://www.daytondailynews.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/education/entries/2011/08/08/cursive_writing.html it also talks about how some people think that cursive is an" art that’s going to be lost". my thoughts on cursive no longer being a requirement is kind of mixed, because in a way i like the thought of it no longer being there because itd easyer to do with spell check and all and dont got to look your words up in the dictionarry. Then i think its just people being lazy because, substituteing the teachers and replaceing it with technology is not the way to do it because most people learn better when it is person to person and some dont. but what im trying to say is that it has been taut for a long time and i dont think that they should stop now because peop-le think that a computer can teach it better. technology is just an excuse.
