Until now, kids started learning cursive handwriting in 2nd grade; but state education officials say computers and web books have made cursive a relic of the past; so it won't be required any more.
Local school districts can still teach it if they want; but the state says it's more important to teach kids good keyboard skills.

Yea I guess the article is sorta right.I dont write to many letters anymore,mostly keyboarding.So maybe cursive is getting a little old fashioned.But Im still not sure if I agree with that decision.
