I stopped using cursive completely in about 5th grade, when it was no longer required. Main reasons for this switch was due to speed and legibility. I can write in print a lot faster than I ever was able to in cursive, and very few people have trouble reading my print, whereas only a handful can read my cursive.
Now though, it is more the fact I don't remember over half of the letters in cursive. I can still read cursive fine, but when I sit down to write it, the main letters I know how to write are in my signature. Funny thing is, my signature is god awful.. I would love to make it look a little prettier, but I don't even finish most of the letters.. slashes here, etc all done. The point is, I do <b>know</b> all of the cursive letters in my name even if I don't use them*grin*
i don't really consider this a problem.. I think it will go the way of calligraphy if anything.. calligraphy is an art and beautiful at that. I would much rather learn calligraphy than cursive now-a-days.
