I had to learn cursive in like the second grade. I think by 8th grade they started preferring printing. By high school, you had to write in printing or else. And the name, class, etc. in the upper right hand corner.
In college now, I print. I think I can still use cursive but I never try. Being an engineering major, capitols are the way to go. Engineering drawings on the computer, of course, use all capitol letters. Most everything other than in-class quizes is typed, anyway. Most hand stuff is just math symbols so I have become better at writing the curvy, cursive-like little greek letters like zeta than at English cursive.
Some of my engineering instructors, who happen to have PhD's, use a sort of printing when writing comments on papers, but it might as well be greek since no one but themselves can read it.
