*In the US? I don't think think is a thing at all in Vic Australia. I can't read cursive, and am slightly above averagely educated for my country (honours).

In Victoria Australia practically no one uses cursive, and the joined handwriting they (used to / or maybe still do) teach in Victorian schools is basically just printed text with minor alterations to make it join better. They don't mandate a specific form of writing AT ALL in highschool (years 7-12**). Hence why I switched to writing as close to printed text as possible, slightly joined for some extra speed.

People should write in a way that's legible first, speed second (when you want others to actually be able to read)

If you write in cursive here, no one can read what you're writing.

Nothing to do with your level of education, and frankly, anyone who hasn't STOPPED using illegible writing styles by the time they finish an undergrad degree at the latest, I'd look at sideways for being unnecessarily difficult (obviously, if they can't write any better, then fair enough).

**Because there is one year or "prep", it's actually years 8-13
