This is the latest in Michigan AFAIK:

When I was a kid in Connecticut I learned cursive, but now I don't know if they are still doing that.

I didn't care at the time about learning it at all, but I am glad I did now that I am older.

I hear the average education situation now in the US is fairly bad, so I'm glad I don't have kids.

Nope but my daughter taught herself how to do it and she learned short hand as well

Wasn’t a requirement. But they spent a lot of time making sure we could

In New York State it is not a state requirement however local school districts and individual schools may choose to teach it

I think if we switched to cursive handwriting and manual stick shifts we could paralyze a country LOL

Its taught briefly but isn't stressed and doesnt effect grades as it did in the past. Nor should it be in this day and age. It isnt nearly the important skill it once was.

No
