An after-school handwriting program at a Virginia middle school has captured national attention online. The viral success comes as more than two dozen states now mandate cursive instruction in their educational standards.
A handwriting program at Holmes Middle School in Alexandria, Virginia has sparked widespread online discussion about whether students should still learn cursive writing in today’s digital world.
The after-school cursive club, where teacher Sherisse Kenerson works with students to master the traditional writing style, gained viral attention on social media platforms. The program highlights a growing educational debate as over two dozen states have reinstated cursive requirements in their academic standards.
