I’m an older-millenial and when I was a kid, I thought cursive was just faster/more efficient. We were forced to use cursive throughout elementary school, but in middle school we could choose to use print. Peer pressure got me to switch to print cause nobody understood why I still chose to write in cursive (and shamed me, as kids be doing)

So now my print still looks like a kindergartener (cause that’s when I was forced into "cursive-only), and when I switched back to print in middle schoold, “typed reports” became standard

And now I can’t really remember my cursive, and my print handwriting still looks like a kid. At least my cursive was legible and pretty when I was good at it… and faster. I’m not bitter lol
