is cursive still a thing? Is it still taught in school? Sometimes I hear that places have stopped doing this. I guess I just wonder if it’s going to go away as far as everyday use. Yes I am 100…

1986, and we used it all through elementary school. We did penmanship exercises pretty frequently and all our essays had to be done in cursive.

1992, learned cursive in 2nd grade and used it up until the end of 6th grade. I knew some people who still wrote their notes and handwritten papers in cursive up until senior year of high school because it was easier for them, but personally I’ve always been terrible at cursive and was relieved when we could start writing in print again.

1993 (Colombia, in case it matters) Learned it in a Catholic school I attended briefly twice (age 4, and also age 8) where it was compulsory, then abandoned it when I went to a more liberal school. Have used ‘print’ ever since.

1990, US public school. Learned cursive in third grade, I think, and used it relatively consistently until eight or ninth grade until the amount of in-class essays I had to write rendered it impractical. My writing style morphed into a sort of print-cursive hybrid after that.

1995, and also from another country. Reblogging because these answers are blowing my mind. Okay, okay, cultural difference. But let’s just talk about this. I learned cursive in… second grade? No pretty videos of hiding Is in flowers (Gosh, wish I knew how to do that!) just lines and lines and lines of As and Bs and Cs (and you know how the alphabet goes!)
I used it, well… ever since. Always, pretty much. I find it way quicker for timed essays and taking notes and it’s just really pretty. But that’s not really why I still use it, you see… I hated it, when I was in middle school But in Italy, where I’m from, it’s required. Not being able to write in cursive in high school? Very frowned upon. All tests and essays are expected to be written in cursive, pretty much… unless you’re able to do a print that looks enough like it (and I knew people who did.)
Living in the US it still kinda baffles me when someone tells me that they can’t write in cursive… Not saying it’s a bad thing, obviously. It’s just… different. Interesting.
(Also, I wonder… I’ll have to ask my younger brother -1998- how his cursive is fairing.)
