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.

The shocking piece of this news story for me was that it was ever made optional in the first place! Crazy to think a large portion of some ~17 years of students don’t know how to read or write it!
I mean the argument of practicality can still be made though, When was the last time you had to read or write cursive? Really just for your signature at this point.
What advantages does cursive grant in this age?
because it pointless today.
I’ve noticed that cursive writing is more common amongst French-Canadians. I think it’s because their education system is more European compared to the Anglo-Canadian one.
