is cursive still a thing? Is it still taught in school? Sometimes I hear that places have stopped doing this. I guess I just wonder if it’s going to go away as far as everyday use. Yes I am 100…

1986, and we used it all through elementary school. We did penmanship exercises pretty frequently and all our essays had to be done in cursive.

1986. My teacher taught it in third grade. I had to write my essays in cursive in the fifth grade and got top marks for it. The only time I’ve had to write in cursive for school since is to sign exams. But I use a combination of cursive and print for everything these days.

1993. Only had it in first and second grade at Catholic school. Never saw it endorsed or taught in public school. Then in eighth grade, I started using it again out of boredom. I was bored enough that I got rather good at it - better than printing. So now I use it for everything and get complimented on my GORGEOUS but illegible handwriting.

1994. I live in Italy and yes, teachers taught it in my first year of school, when I was six, and we had to use it to write. So yes, I use it whenever I write things, I thought it was normal ‘-‘
