Cursive is making a comeback. Relegated in 2006 to an optional piece of learning in Ontario elementary schools, cursive writing is set to return as a mandatory part of the curriculum starting in September.

Seems like a fair thing to teach considering students will be writing exams by hand most of their lives. Sucks that they just threw curriculum changes so last minute at the teachers without much support.

All my exams were done on computers, many years ago.

That's very lucky. I had to write my computer science exams (and all other courses) on paper for undergrad and i graduated in 2019. I don't think that's a thing in Ontario universities unless you have some sort of disability accommodation.
