State Representative Michael Rivers has proposed requirements for students in South Carolina schools. The bill, H. 3578, was pre-filed in the House on December 12, 2024.
The bill seeks to “provide instruction in cursive writing beginning in second grade and continuing in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade to ensure that students can create readable documents through legible cursive handwriting by the end of fifth grade”.
H. 3578 also seeks to require students to “memorize multiplication tables to ensure that students can effectively multiply numbers by the end of fifth grade.”
