I'm 24 and I learned it in 4th grade (public school). Was abysmal at it, though, and at the time every student had a computer at their desk to use so we focused more on learning how to type properly instead of perfecting our cursive. My teacher was the only one with computers in her classroom and she was very insistent that we'd be using computers a lot in our future, but we'd be using cursive a lot too.

I pretty much never used cursive after 4th grade and I still can't get the hang of it.

I'm 22 and I vividly remember having to do cursive writing in the 3rd grade, I was in public school. After that point though, I don't remember it coming up much. At all. Like it was kind of never talked about again and it was never required. In fact, I remember in high school you actually weren't allowed to write in cursive because it was too much of a pain in the ass for the teachers to read.

I'm 25, and did learn cursive. I went to a public school, and I believe we started learning how to do it in third grade. We had a special notebook for it and everything.

I'm 19 and I was the last grade in my school district to have cursive in the curriculum, and I started learning in 3rd grade. It was replaced with computer literacy requirements, which was the only thing that kept the PTA from rioting. I personally don't see the importance or learning "proper" cursive. It's not hard to read other people's cursive, a signature is just print all squiggly, and everything is digital now anyway. Most people in my grade, even though they learned, can barely write in cursive anymore from lack of practice. My boyfriend just turned 20 and he grew up a few towns over and can read it just fine but not really write cursive all that well because they spent very little time teaching it, but it hasn't been a detriment to his academics or career whatsoever. I can write in cursive as well as I can print, and my general handwriting is a mashup of the two.

Well, I learned it back in elementary school though I never followed it through; it took me forever to write, I was extremely slow. Nowadays it's even worse; I write very sloppy which is because I feel like my mind is way faster than my hand - quite frustrating I might say.

I was homeschooled. My mom tried to teach me cursive initially, but I kinda hated it so we ended up giving up. Now I hear they're bringing it back to schools because people aren't using it in their signatures anymore. :V

I am....old (lol 33) and I learned in school. I went to public school before HS and cursive is my preferred way of writing. Often though I get a printing/cursive hybrid going

i write cursive in my dream journal and in the french notebook i just started. i recently started to use print like script because my handwriting is too fancy, lol. that's my cursive, see what i mean by fancy? with the looping tail at the end of the words?

my chinese notebook is also a combination of print like letters and cursive [when writing translations and explanations] my chinese hanzi look like the writing of a native chinese 4th grader [i was told by a few native chinese people to whom i showed my notes.]

i learned how to write cursive in grade school, i think? plus romania brought computers at a very late point in time [in 1990s they were still a novelty and too expensive to own one. they started to become more common starting 2000s?] we had a lot of cursive practice. i don't know about the younger generations though

I really have to update my blog ObscureJourney and my review site BeingObscure. French speakers can read my reviews here.

Yeah I learned cursive in school though I don't remember what grade. Some time in elementary school. I specifically remember all those cursive banners that were in every 1-3 grade classroom that had the alphabet in cursive. I didn't really use it much until community college when I took an art class that ended up having half the semester be about calligraphy. I actually don't like writing in cursive unless its with a calligraphy pen because I just feel it looks weird with a normal pencil.

I'm 21, and I was taught cursive in school in the US in grades 1-3, and in Australia in grades 4-6... I say taught, because I never did learn, and to this day I don't know how to write in cursive and I struggle to read it, too.

It was one of my least favorite parts of school. :P

I'm 25 and went to public school where we were taught cursive in 3rd grade. I haven't really used cursive since then, my handwriting is more of a connected print or print/cursive hybrid than anything.

I am 25. I attended public school. Learned cursive in 1st grade. I only ever write in cursive and I hate print because it looks choppy and it is impossible to write fast enough with it.

I'm 26 and I went to public school the whole time. I learned cursive in 3rd grade and used it until 8th grade. In middle school, I had to use cursive in the "gifted" classes or my assignments wouldn't count. In high school, they preferred if you didn't use cursive, because teachers thought it was too hard to read.

Nowadays, I don't write in cursive unless I feel like being fancy or when I'm signing something.

I'm 23, and went to a Midwestern USA public school, learned it in about 2nd or 3rd grade, was mandatory for a while, and then it just sort of slipped away. Now I pretty much know only enough cursive to sign my name. XP

i'm 16 (youngest here probably) but I believe I learned it around 1st - 2nd grade. it was at a public school in the south and I moved up north to the midwest during that time where I continued my schooling.

earliest could've been during kindergarten and latest could've been up to 3rd grade. i've never used cursive since. i don't bother using it because if I have to sign something, I just use my own handwriting. i'm not going to go through so much trouble just to make my signature look fancy
