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.

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
