Cursive script POLL
Last week, Ontario education minister Stephen Lecce announced some changes to the elementary curriculum, which include bringing back traditional cursive handwriting.
“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 explained.
Cursive has been optional since 2006. People for Education’s Annie Kidder dismissed the move, saying that “most of the world doesn’t write in cursive any more, and we all manage to sign our names.”
In an online poll the change got overwhelming support.
Ontario will bring back cursive writing as a requirement in elementary schools.
