I'm not a particularly good example, as I've gone to private schools all my life, but I was required to learn and write cursive from about second and third grade, but it ended up being unnecessary in later grades. That said, I still prefer writing in cursive. It's both faster and neater than writing in print for me, mostly because I'm really bad with spacing letters in print, which I assume comes from my dyslexia.
Hey look I posted for once. I should really be more active.
