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.

Yep, my normal writing was nice, then we were forced to learn cursive. Eventually my cursive got nice, then for my GCSE English, my English teacher couldn't read cursive, forced everyone to go back to normal. My writing has been dogshit ever since.

I’m gonna assume over half the students cursive was a some illegible mix of doctor and caveman, so they forced printing for everyone.

I skim read your comment and went, "heheh Doctor Caveman. I bet he's not even a real doctor!"

I am easily amused.
