I'll be thirty-two before the end of the year. I learned cursive in 2nd-3rd grade at a public school in Atlantic Canada. I still use cursive every single day but my writing will look different based on my mood and/or energy level. I often have difficulties reading other people's cursive due to stylistic flair.

I'm 26, and I distinctly remember many, many cursive lessons in like...idk, 2nd and 3rd grade? But I can also definitely say I didn't learn it 'cuz...the only cursive I can do is my signature. And it was a huge pain in the butt to figure out how to update my signature after I got married and changed my name, especially since I figured out how to work a lil star into my last name and then I had to figure that out all over again...not to mention add an 's' with which I struggled even as a 2nd and 3rd grader when I could make the other symbols.

Anyway when I read notes from people who know how to write in cursive, especially if they're two generations older than me, it makes me feel like I"m some archeologist struggling to read an ancient script I barely understand. I'm 26 and would still prefer to just ask my mom to read it to me 'cuz...I just can't read it. That said if someone closer to my age who is good at cursive wrote in cursive, there is a marginally better chance I can read it. idk, handwriting trends or something?

I'm 25 and went to public schools. I was taught cursive in school but as I got older my peers didn't keep up with the skill and I eventually stopped writing in it too because they couldn't read my cursive handwriting. But honestly, my peers usually had crappy handwriting anyway and cursive wasn't helping anyone. Now I mostly sign my name in cursive, and my normal handwriting is a clear cursive kind of print that even a 12 year old can read very clearly.

I'm 25 and learned how to do cursive in 3rd grade. My cursive is HIDEOUS and I never use it unless for signatures. I'm super embarrassed by it because it's so bad LOL

I'm 21. I learned cursive at a public elementary school - 2nd or 3rd grade.

I'm glad I learned. It's faster for me to use if I'm scribbling quick notes that don't have to be neat. I also just like to be able to write in a fancy script.

Ha i'm 21 too, same grades i learned it in. I cant really write in cursive though i try, none of my peers can either. But man how i try.

...hey, silly question perhaps but... by cursive do you people just mean letters that are connected? Google just assumes I already know this XD

So, nearly 50 (next month, eeek!) and I learned cursive in 4th grade. It wasn't something that was typically required in the various schools I attended (military brat, moved a lot) so I didn't really practice it terribly often.

Fast forward many years later and I"m playing in a LARP. A major part of my character was keeping notes of the vampire politics in the game and I needed to keep those notes secret so other players couldn't steal my information. I taught myself to write in mirror image with a very stylized version of Franklin Gothic Font. Unfortunately this ended up distorting what remained of my ability to write a good cursive, so my handwriting tends to be a bit wonky.

I'm 22 and I constantly say this as I sign my name when I pay for something. "They really should be teaching cursive in school." I have spent very little time actually doing cursive, but I keep thinking that I am messing up my own name in cursive. I was taught in 3rd or 4th grade and then that was it. No cursive afterwards. Maybe like one paper even written in cursive.

I can just barely read it. My grandmother has this habit of always writing notes to me in cursive and I can't read it all the time, so I give up after I fall back asleep. I'll wake up and try again when I am less groggy. And she keeps saying my writing is hard to read when I can barely read what she writes to me when I'm still asleep. It's always like two generations ahead that have cursive written into their psyche more than the generation after them and then down.

I learned it very early on in primary school, and they've taught it in every school I've worked at (including the one I'm at now). The complicated thing is that they do tend to teach it slightly differently in every school!

We learned cursive in 3rd grade and never came back to it as far as I remember. I am 20 years old and attended public school.

I learned cursive when I was about 9. To this day I still prefer writing in cursive! It's really nice to look at and it's becoming a bit of a lost art.

i'm 22 in a couple days, i learned cursive in 3rd grade, public school. i may well be of one of the last rounds of kids to have learned it, at least in my school district. i never use it anymore, except when i have to sign my name in cursive, even though i was pretty good at it. it just wound up being much quicker to simply print all the time.

I'm 26, went to public school in Scandinavia, and we learned cursive in 3rd - 4th grade. I'm from a suburban white trash area, so they held off on us learning it until the whole class could read/write normal letters somewhat easily.

I learned how to write in cursive in like 2nd or 3rd grade as well, in a public school in the Bay Area of CA. I'm 22. c:

I specifically remember some assignments being required to be turned in as cursive handwriting, but after I moved out of the Bay, the schools here in the Valley never once mentioned cursive so I gave up on it. haha

I'm old [at 37] and I learned cursive writing in 3rd grade at public school. We had a month or so [I think] that we practiced the letters first then words. I do know by 4th grade we were required to write all homework and reports in cursive writing.

I switch between print and cursive when I write, even when I sign my name.

I studied cursive first in the second grade (2001-2002) while I was in school and I am now 22. I went to a public school that had uniforms and was year-round... they didn't have school buses and for field trips they made us use the city bus.

I'm 30 and hate it. I think it's lazy, hard to read and seems bad for anyone with a learning disorder or other issues. Aside from occasionally connecting a vowel with an N I didn't learn it at all. Waste of time and energy attempting to teach me. Was home schooled.

I learned in 3rd grade, public school. We worked on learning it then not long after all our work was required to be in cursive. I half liked it. To this day I still can't do the small k. I struggled way back then and came up with an odd way of making it that the teacher finally approved. I googled a few months back and I couldn't find a chart that showed it the way I remember. Either my memory is faulty or there's another teaching form that took over.

Now days I don't write in cursive. I can but I've forgotten how to make a few of the letters. I have a hard time signing my name, though I think that's due to having two "n"s next to each over. I want to keep going and forget how to spell my name. lol

Then again I think even my print sucks. I have a bad habit of my hand getting ahead of my brain. It's like my hand is on autopilot. coughs like spelling my name.

Did you learn to write in cursive? Was it in school or at home? What grade did you learn? Did you go to public or private school? How old are you?

I learned cursive in school in 2nd grade - private school. I'm 24 now.

And I barely remember how to write in cursive at this point.
