My children were taught some awful mish mash of cursive and printing, I don't remember what it was called. One of them taught herself cursive because she thought their method was stupid.
Most penmanship these days is a bastardisation of print and cursive. Specifically, parts of cursive as it relates to speed, and print for anything more difficult to recognize than a 'c' or 'e'. Hybrid 'd', print r, s, z, etc.
The end result is about as bad as you would expect.
I see, Thanks. Maybe because these days everyone has a printer in the house. If you told the child to print, they would run to the machine and print it!!
Mine too. My son actually prefers cursive to manuscript. LOL
What is "manuscript", which if you decode it means hand writing.
Manuscript is what my son’s Montessori teacher from a few years back called the method of non-cursive handwriting.

"Manuscript" is what the kids learn as "printing". Cursive is called..."cursive".
