The Springfield (OH) News Sun (8/8, Kissell) reports that Ohio, following the guidelines of the Common Core Curriculum, is no longer requiring districts to teach students to write in cursive, with the "more modern keyboarding" taking its place. The piece quotes a state DOE spokesperson "acknowledging the issue has generated a bit of controversy because many adults still view handwriting as an important skill that should be taught." The piece continues to detail the plans of individual districts.
