I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned. (startrek.website)

We don't learn "print" at all in Europe, so cursive is a synonym for writing here.

You never get taught to read letters like these?

At all is a bit of a stretch since it's quite simple, so I can write it, but I wasn't taught.

You should specify which country since other Europeans are disagreeing with you

Which ones? I'm from the UK and it was the norm there. I'm seeing lots of comments not understanding how you could not learn it.

I'm seeing articles about Norway and Finland phasing out the practice recently, but its the same article that states the benefits of cursive on the brains ability to learn (from a Norwegian study).
