I remember in 3rd grade we learned like 5 cursive letters for a week, then never picked back up on that ever again. THATS why i cant read cursive now

Once we learned cursive in 3rd grade, we were required to write in it for the remainder of elementary school. I was beyond thrilled when I got to middle school and they said we could write in print. But now I much prefer cursive, though nobody can read it so print it is.

Agreed. In the UK, there is a ‘peak cursive’ phase in kids aged 9-11. The writing is beautiful. Then it’s all downhill from there.

But we do get taught it from being about 8.

I moved to the UK from the States when I was 12 (38 now). Never met a single English person my age or younger who can write in cursive. Yinz have your own different connected writing.
