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’m older than that, but yes, I agree. I rarely use cursive. OCR works better with printing, I type most of the time, and even my crappy printing is better than my cursive. I was a little surprised my kids weren’t taught cursive, but think the only real loss is the exercises. I think it would be good to be familiar enough to read cursive, but that isn’t worth even a semester.
