Seven-year-old Alyssa received a worksheet from her teacher containing an admonishment in red ink, which read: “Stop writing your name in cursive.
You have had several warnings.” This incident has sparked a debate. While teachers must be respected, discouraging a child like Alyssa from practicing cursive seems unjust. Learning cursive, though not a priority in all schools, is a valuable skill. It demands concentration and practice. Therefore, Alyssa’s efforts should be celebrated, not criticized.
