Many Ohio and U.S. Students Choose Printing Over Cursive

Posted Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Featured on Episode 10 of the 2009-2010 season

 

In many Ohio schools and around the country, some people wonder if cursive is going the way of the fountain pen. Only a handful of the letters we receive from our viewers are handwritten these days. Reporter Scott Wegener went to Princeton Community Middle School in Cincinnati to find out what has happened to the written word.
