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 also want to see what “research” Minister Leece is referencing. They aren’t extending the school day. Those three or four hours of cursive per week will be taken from some other topics in the curriculum (e.g. coding, which some teachers find challenging). Furthermore, this opens the door for the Ministry to back other archaic skills that might poll well with voters, but serve no actual academic purpose.
