23 here and started learning cursive in third grade; I think the lessons continued until fifth grade. Never got great at it but integrated it into my normal handwriting somewhat. I can't print worth a crap because of that lol

OH, forgot to answer your question of the type of schooling I had, sorry! I was homeschooled.

~ I learned cursive in Catholic school too :) (3rd grade as well) If we didn't write all our homework and term papers in cursive the nuns would give us a big fat zero lol. Harsh!

31 and we learned it in school too! I'm moderately okay at it, but not amazing. My handwriting in general is not the most wonderful in the world, but it's sufficient!

My dad took a penmanship class in his school, though, and his handwriting 50+ years later is not to be believed. Everything he writes looks so official.

I started on my own in the spare time it took to just look at the generic alphabet decorations in the third grade classroom. It was in almost all of the classrooms anyway. In fourth grade, the teacher that started teaching us how said it was sloppy and illegible.

Never! I couldn't even get my pen license in school hahahaha...ha... :/

Yep! I'm 20 and I learned it in 5th grade I think? Public school. Can't say I remember how you're "technically" supposed to do every single letter (mainly the capitols) so I just kinda wing it hahaha.

I'm 20, and I think I probably learned in 2nd grade or at the beginning of 3rd grade at a public school. My handwriting is a mix of cursive and print now, so I have no idea how to write in cursive the "right" way, though.

I'm 27, American and I learned cursive in grade school. Unfortunately I never needed to write in it and I actually can't write it anymore. Watch my try to make an s in cursive, I just keep making Ls.

I went to public school and learned 2nd to 5th grade maybe? Switched schools a bit. It tripped me out later on in my grade school experience how writing in cursive wasn't very necessary and few people do it. I still write in it sometimes when I feel like being fancy, signing cards and such. It really isn't that much faster for me than regular writing. I'm not a fan of cursive capital G and lowercase r.

I'm 28, and we learned it in 3rd grade. They told us we would need it forever, but we basically never used it after that, and I almost always print when writing other than signing my name. I did use cursive for my diaries back then though because I thought it would make it harder for others to read (silly me!). I could never remember the capital Q or Z.

I learned how to write in cursive and my handwriting is still a form of cursive. I learned in school in second grade. I attended a private school at the time. I am twenty two years old.

I'm 21, i learned cursive in grade 2 and 3, in public school! a few years later they told us to never turn in assignments in cursive lol

I'm 22! I learned to write cursive in public school. We learned in 3rd grade, and I was and am SO into it LOL!

I'm also in the US if that helps lol, and my schools have transitioned to "common core". Most of these programs (and similar programs) don't teach cursive as part of "21st-century learning".

I'm 20 and we were taught cursive writing in both third and fifth grade at my public school. I thought it was useless for a while, but fell in love with the way a friend's handwriting looked when we were in high-school so I re-taught myself around the tenth grade. Now I use cursive all the time unless asked for print or if I need to make sure someone can absolutely understand what I'm relaying to them.

I learned cursive in 3rd grade.

I'm 25, from Mexico and I went to a private benedictine school, we had a class for cursive writing only on 5th-6th grade and that's it. I don't write in cursive at all unless I'm in a hurry. Now that I remember, I had a classmate that wrote in cursive in high school.

I'm age redacted (why don't you just shut up and get off my lawn), I went to public school and one year we did indeed have to learn to write in cursive. I don't recall precisely when but it was around 4th grade or so. Every assignment had to be done in cursive. It was awful and I hated it. Then, in the next grade, as I distinctly remember, writing in cursive was not only no longer encouraged, it was banned. (My theory is that the teacher probably couldn't read a damn thing anyone was turning in lol.) So that was pretty much all pointless and stupid.

My home-ec class (yuck) in junior high called upon my long-forgotten cursive skills to practice writing fake checks. To this day, on the very rare occasion that I write a check for anything, I'm compelled to write it in cursive like it's the law or something, resulting in all kinds of mixed-up styles, scribbly messes and usually a wasted check or two because it just does not come naturally to me. Normally, my handwriting is similar to architectural lettering, printed neatly in all caps. (Yes, I yell loudly - but legibly! - every time I write on paper.)

25 here. I went to public school, and learned in 3rd grade. Of course, if you don't learn it at all, how are you going to do the all-important task of signing your name?

I was supposed to learn cursive in 3rd grade, however I had to take speech therapy inside. I'd say it was an trade off because I was able to get over a lisp I had.

28, American, went to public school. Started learning cursive in 3rd grade at school.

I feel sad that it's becoming less common for it to be mandatory now. I feel like it's culturally/historically significant to be able to read older texts and many letters. Plus, it's faster for some people to take notes using it (and better for your memory to handwrite over typing).
