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.

I think the bigger issue is having teachers who don’t want to teach cursive teach it. Growing up when I learned it, you could tell the teacher didn’t care for it and spent minimal time assisting with not just learning but learning correctly. If the teacher doesn’t care, why would the students?
