I remember when I was in school, they drilled handwriting (about an hour a day) from 3rd grade through 6th grade and then its use was mandatory in most classes during Junior High and High School. When my kids went through elementary school, I was shocked, they taught handwriting in the 3rd grade for about 1/3 of the year, then moved on.

I put up with cursive writing in Elementary and middle school.(At that level everything was required to be in cursive) I pitty my poor teachers trying to decipher my hen scratch.

After I hit high school, and realized the teachers did not care, I went back to printing and never looked back.
