HOLMES: All right, well, some kids in Georgia upset about what they're being told they can and cannot wear to high school. This is Cross Creek High School in Augusta, Georgia. Students were actually putting together a protest because of an outright ban on anything camouflage -- any camouflage clothing. Well, the principal is coming back now and wants to clarify his position. He's says, "I'm not saying you can't wear this stuff at all, I'm just encouraging you to keep that stuff in your lockers and not wear it around school in particular because of your safety." There were two students who are wearing camouflage gear when they were shot after getting off the school bus.</s>CHETRY: Well, elementary -- teaching elementary school kids cursive writing could be a thing of the past in Georgia. It's not been eliminated from the curriculum just yet. But the state's Department of Education decided perhaps cursive writing not the most important thing to include in its performance standards.</s>CHERYL JONES, GA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DIRECTOR: We've seen all the kids with their thumbs on their -- they are texting and playing games. They are using the technology we have. At the time cursive was important that was the best technology that we had, was pen and ink on a piece of paper.</s>CHETRY: Yes. Well, you still have to know how to sign your name, right, for important documents? They need your John Hancock. Georgia education officials that say they don't want to spend resources on a skill that's becoming obsolete. This is scary stuff. They are still open to debate on whether to continue teaching the kids cursive.</s>HOLMES: We don't think about it, until somebody brings it but when was the last time any of us wrote something in cursive besides our signature?</s>CHETRY: Yes. My handwriting is getting so much worse, too because you just type everything, you know. When you don't practice then it starts to go.</s>HOLMES: I can never ready you the notes here. All right. Just a few minutes to the top of the hour. A quick break. We're be right back.
