I think it could be optional as part of the curriculum, meaning that I don't see it worthwhile in the public school curriculum. Kids coming out of public schools can barely read and write, let alone do maths, english, and cursive handwriting.

BUT I bet the moment that happens those parents that care about handwriting or feel that it benefits their child in some fashion will take it or insist that private schools that offer it are even more superior to the public schools.

AND, we'll have someone shouting disparity and divide to those who cannot afford private schooling.

So it should be kept in.
