I suppose cursive writing is when all letters are connected with each other? (Sorry, I am German
)
Well, here at school we only learn to write cursive, from first grade on (at least it was like this when I was in school, but as far as I know that hasn't changed).
I developped a really nice cursive handwriting over the years, but some time before school ended (probably 11th or 12th grade), my teacher said "Your handwriting looks great on the paper but it is not readable." when she gave me my German exam back
After that I started to write in print occasionally, and in the whole 13th grade I only wrote in print when I had exams (although some teachers still had problems to read it
)
Now I have a mixture of print and cursive, but it's more like print. I would love to get back to cursive (I think it looks better) but that's kinda hard to go back. Plus, I know that most people can't read it
