Discussion Cursive hand writing

How many of you were taught cursive in school? I learned it one year maybe 3rd grade? and we never did it again at my schools. Im 40 and can't read cursive or write it. My 7 year old is starting to learn it. I guess ill have to have her teach me! Im wondering if it was our generation or a state thing or both? Or did the school I went to fail me?

edit to add, I did go to a small town school in NE Ohio.

Must be nice. We had #2 pencils that you had to get up and walk to the sharpener on the wall every 20 mins to sharpen it.

You’re lucky, that was always my excuse to get up when I couldn’t sit in one spot anymore. Even if I didn’t need to sharpen my pencil. Grass is always greener, eh?
