+256 You learned cursive wrtiting in Elementary School, being told that you will have to use it in life. In Middle School it didn't matter if you used cursive because you were learning about typing. In High School you could only submit papers if they were typed and your hand writing became impaired from taking too many notes in class. Now, the only thing you can write in cursive is your name, amirite?

I'm a freshman, and I can ONLY write in cursive. It's actually become painful for me to print.

Writing in print takes more time. The cursvive I do is very stretched so when my assignment is to write a page, I do 60% of what everyone else is

I don't even sign my name in cursive. I hate cursive S's.

I still use cursive whenever I take notes in class. Personally, I think it's faster. Especially in college, when you have to take notes pretty quickly.

Cursive is faster than nice print, but when you're just jotting down notes and abbreviating half the stuff, I'd say print is faster.

I wish I would have paid more attention to cursive

They tried to teach me cursive. I can proudly say that my handwriting now and my handwriting from kindergarden are recognizable as being from the same person.

When I took the SAT Subject Tests, we had to write a statement saying we wouldn't share test answers, etc. in cursive. It took me like 5 minutes to write 3 sentences and I'm pretty sure half the letters were wrong. Needless to say, I'll stick to print

I remember that. I was the last one to finish.

I was still writing when the guy moved on to the next direction so I was just like "Screw it" and scribbled down stuff that was totally illegible

I write a mixture of both, just depends on what letters are together. Oh and I write my name in print.

I can barely even read cursive. My grandmother does beautiful cursive lettering on her Christmas cards, and I have to decipher it slowly, letter-by-letter.

I write in a mixture of print and cursive because most of the time I'm too lazy to lift up the pen between letters. It's funny. Most of my writing starts in print, then it's a mix, then finally I turn to cursive. I think it's easier. I taught it to myself. My school never really focused on it outside of first grade.

I switched schools the year that everyone learned cursive, so I had to teach myself out of workbooks, so later on, even when we technically suppose to be writing cursive, the teachers would let me print because they couldn't understand mine. My printing isn't all that much better, but with practice it's decipherable.
