My cursive is bad. I don't remember a handful of letter, or the right way to connect them.
I hate reading cursive, as a "personal" style makes each person's cursive different.
When I was in school it was taught in 3rd grade, and we
had to write in it up until I was in the 7th grade. Once in Jr.High and we had to start taking notes for different classes, the teachers didn't care. It was our notes.
I do still sign my name is cursive. My signature, something I hate to look at, looks like that 3rd grader who learned how to write his name
To the OP poll: Maybe teach it, to learn how to read it, but not force it.
