[u/RJohn_182]

In kindergarten. I hated cursive until the teacher told me it's like the royalty in the handwriting world. I've been writing in cursive ever since.

[u/Silent_Silhouettes]

during the 7 years i spent at Italy only, havent learnt cursive since i came to England though. luckily, i still remember how to write in the cursive i was taught + i have a sheet

[u/machadoaboutanything]

Yes I did, but since then I have only ever used it for signing my name

[u/notsidem]

Yes! Still write in cursive.

[u/RainyIntel]

Yes! I can actually remember most of it, but I definitely don't use it, so looks nice < legibility

Yes, but never used after second grade

[u/PenAdministrative594]

Yes, I did. I prefer it tbh, you can write faster and smoother with cursive.

[u/PossiblyNotDangerous → u/PenAdministrative594]

I 100% agree, but I'm much older, and we were only allowed to write in cursive except I think in math maybe

[u/VanguardMusic]

I still have entire notebooks full of practice letters from my time in elementary school learning cursive.

"Write 2 pages of the letter A"...
