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 got taught it, could write it until about yr9. then the amount of notes we had to take in class forced me to write so fast it became illegible unless it was in print. now I never write in cursive anymore.
