Cursive is making a comeback: Ontario to make learning script mandatory in school

Cursive is making a comeback.

Relegated in 2006 to an optional piece of learning in Ontario elementary schools, cursive writing is set to return as a mandatory part of the curriculum starting in September.

Education Minister Stephen Lecce said it is about more than just teaching students how to sign their own name.

“The research has been very clear that cursive writing is a critical life skill in helping young people to express more substantively, to think more critically, and ultimately, to express more authentically,” he said in an interview.

I see trouble ahead, the kids will be writing their own notes to excuse themselves from attending Drag Queen Indoctrination Hour. No wonder the teachers are upset.
