The Common Core State Standards, introduced in 2010, did not include cursive writing. As a result, many states and school districts eliminated cursive instruction from their curricula. This exclusion limits students' ability to access and interpret historical documents and handwritten materials.

—“Mine manifested as a mix between printing and cursive, its a faster way for me to write, and it still has some readability from printing”
I agree with that statement, my handwriting is a mix as well. The kids were never taught cursive. They can’t read it or write it, they never practiced it at all because they didn’t know how to make the letters and they were taught to print everything instead. I started teaching high school in the mid 90s. I retired in 2023. I saw the before and after and I’m telling you that the kids that were not taught how to write in cursive or made to practice cursive writing, print everything because that’s all they know how to do and they are sloooooow when it comes to taking notes. Unfortunately, writing notes, whether print or cursive, is a very good way to learn and improve retention of the information. Typing the information does not have the same retention factor that writing does.
