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.

1991. We had to learn it in either 3rd or 4th grade and they spent a lot of effort convincing us it was worth it. Like, they made us read a book about a girl who refused to learn cursive and therefore became functionally illiterate and one day the principal of the school came in and talked to us about how important it is to know. 

I use it for my signature, kind of? But nothing else. 

1995. I learned cursive (well, we called it script) in 3rd grade, was expected to use it in 4th grade, and then no one used it ever again. Except my older brother (born 1992) who is the only person—other than my grandmother—that I know uses it in day-to-day writing. That was a Catholic school, by the way. I use script now for my signature or when I want something to look pretty.
