Though many in Ontario have welcomed the reintroduction of cursive to the province’s curriculum, some educators say translating that to the classroom could be easier said than done for a generation of teachers that may have missed out on learning the skill of writing by hand themselves.
While the majority of provinces require students to learn cursive, it isn’t mandatory in some regions. In British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories and Yukon, for example, it’s up to teachers to decide whether or not to include it.
Teachers have better things to do, like encouraging children to mutilate their sexual organs.
