I write in half-cursive. half-print. I learned to write in cursive when I was eight but I can't imagine kids are learning it in school anymore.

No it is not true in the least. I’m 21 and was taught cursive in elementary school. Everyone I know was taught cursive. I moved a lot and was expected to write in cursive in each elementary and middle school I attended. It’s also a meme with old people in the states. They claim that the younger generation doesn’t know cursive. It’s not true unless you went to a school overrun by niggers that can’t be trusted to go to the bathroom without causing an unbelievable amount of trouble

learned in HS my handwriting is a combination of print,cursive,and chicken scratch accompanied by unintelligable lines. People we're supposed to learn in HS if not before but this generation has 70% of the classes on computer and most of the test on computer aswell the SAT/ACT are still on paper though no idea

Canadian here, 21.
Learned cursive in Grade 1, 2. Teachers didn't care if you printed or wrote in cursive. I got by with my ugly chicken scratch all the way through school, i'm in 4th year uni now. Honestly I don't know to write in cursive like this guy >>12903813, but I have my own combination of half print half cursive.

Rate my heiroglyphics.

Once you get to a certain age, yes. Younger Zoomers were in school when they swapped cursive out for typing.
I know how to write in cursive though. The switch happened in the mid or late 00's

I learned it through 5th, and then they phased it out and made typing the bigger focus. Still know how, and most (white) people I know can atleast read it.

Imagine thinking writing in cursive is a rare skill and not common sense.

>> No.12905387

This is such a meme. Just about everyone can write in cursive. It's insanely easy and people like to pretend it's not being taught anymore because "when I was a kid education was hard hur dur". If your claim to intellectual superiority is the swirls in your penmanship you're a faggot.

But its rarely used now and i forgot how to write fluently in cursive. i have worked on getting it right again. But everyone here signs there name here in cursive of course.

They taught when my younger brother and I (18 and 21 respectively) attended elementary school. I imagine they probably don't teach it anymore considering it's not actually useful for anything besides a fancy signature.

It's useful for anything where you have to write quickly, like being a student, doctor, lawyer, etc. Had to teach myself cursive in uni for notetaking.
