SYNOPSIS

Under current educational standards, cursive writing is no longer required to be taught to our students, and many schools have abandoned teaching it to their students.As cursive writing is still an imperative skill in many professions, this bill will make the teaching of cursive writing a requirement for all public schools in Delaware. |
