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.

Cursive is fun to write but make it part of an elective art class.

It seems like the studies are about how it helps with fine motor skills and other development, rather than it being a useful skill

So it seems reasonable to introduce a few other options that have the same benefits, so that kids can choose the elective that's best for them
