    Yes. We are taught to “Print” first, and then taught cursive but reassured its not that serious or important to know how, because we will be expected to write in print on everything academic.

      Interessing. In France, you are expected to write cursive until you are 11 years old, when you enter collège (junior high).

        Wow, I love that. American education did the same thing 50 years ago, but we made this change towards forcing students to write print. Nowadays they probably type a lot more than write, but there are still some brutally long written essays.
