The teaching of cursive in public schools has gone in, then out, then back in style, and California is the latest state with a new law requiring cursive be taught as of January 1 for grades 1 to 6. As of 2016, just 12 states remained that mandated learning cursive as people questioned whether the writing style was rendered obsolete by other ways of writing, including digital ways of writing. However, many states that had phased it out relented, and 11 states have restored cursive to their required curriculum. On one hand, forcing children to learn how to write “Q” in cursive seems rude in the year 2024; on the other, I shudder to think of what the autographs of the movie stars of the future will look like if the state of California doesn’t sort this out in grade school.
