Many primary school students can't write the normal style properly - with the correct proportion within two parallel lines.

I make this statement not without evidence - I volunteer in Prep, Year 4 and Year 5 one day every week in 2019.

It is not a matter of learning, but doing it properly from the start! Furthermore, it is important to arouse the interest of the students to learn, because they can't see the value of using cursive writing. No computer, tablet and mobile "write" cursively.

Unfortunately, many teachers have very horrible hand-writing!

In my opinion, cursive writing should be promoted and taught as part of art subject.

PS I was a professional cake decorator, used to "write" stylistically on top of cake surfaces by squeezing icing through a writing tube.

Thank you for reading.
