And I type things out or handwrite them in print.

The elementary schools in the district I go to teach cursive in fourth grade, but after that teachers don’t really enforce using it. Some people I know write in cursive, and others have reverted back to print, with the knowledge of how to write in cursive.

However, this is because an unfortuanate incident where I moved at the critical time between 2nd and 3rd grade. In NY, where I finished 2nd grade, one did not learn cursive until 3rd grade. But lo and behold, down in Florida (where I moved to) the kids learn script in 2nd grade – and I had missed it. Learning script without the assistance of my teacher was a time consuming and negative task, and I never did master it. For instance, I to this day cannot write a captial G, S, or Q in cursive.

So to save myself the embarassment of writing like a 3rd grader, I just instinctively lean towards a messy mix of print and script lettering. 🙂

I learned it in Grade 2. Used it for a little bit during my elementary years. It was stressed that ‘In high school, you’ll have to handwrite everything! You won’t be allowed to print!’ They were wrong. I’ve never handwritten anything since about Grade 6.

My handwriting looks like a Grade 2 kid did it. It’s messy and I don’t use it. I guess it would get better if I used it more, but I find it slower and more time consuming than printing. I don’t think it’s as nice looking, either.

Handwriting seems pointless, to me.

Oh I’m 16, a junior in high school

we learned to write in cursive in about third grade but no one has EVER told me to write in cursive and most my teachers prefer you write in print because some people just cant write neatly i guess.

but we did learn it, and i know of no one who writes in cursive.

sometimes i get a little lazy and write half and half like when im tryin to write something fast my letters sometimes look cursive but thats it.

mostly everything is typed now anyways.
