Education for Generations

Practicing the curlicues of P’s and Q’s will no longer be a (w)rite of passage for many kids: Cursive is not part of the Common Core State Standards, the recently established academic  guidelines now adopted by 45 of the 50 states. As a result, many public schools have ceased  script instruction and are using the time to build technology skills. While some educators consider the art of handwriting ancient, it does have its advocates. Recent research from Indiana University found that writing by hand activates areas of the brain that don’t get tapped during typing. Another study, conducted by the University of Washington, revealed that when elementary-school students composed essays on paper rather than on-screen, they wrote more and faster. Maybe it’s wise not to write off the mighty pen just yet.

Strauss Education strives to assist in the education of people, young and old, for generations to come. With innovative technology, Strauss Education can provide a meaningful and useful skill to those wanting or needing to learn cursive or better penmanship. At the same time, Strauss Education can relieve the burden from academic institutions while still providing a grade or assessment for each student partaking in the digital classes.

Strauss Education not only serves as an immediate educational tool for those learning to write – in any native language – but will also serve as a historical data access for the user to reference their past truly handwritten work (no longer need to save those 3rd, 4th or 8th grade handwritten letters) on a digital platform for generations to come.
