Hi Walter, If you must use that font for educational purposes in Spain, here is a page that has a normal version and a black (negra) of Escolar, which as far as I can see is the same font.
http://www.edu.xunta.gal/centros/ceipfrions/es/node/101 You may want more black than this, but the contrast in colour between these two is pretty good, and very much the norm in typography. As for italic, well if children are learning good handwriting from this, then applying an algorithmic slant is a terrible way to show children how to write. Italic handwriting is fundamentally different to upright. But perhaps things are done with a different sense in Spain (no disrespect intended). Andrew
