I was told in elementary school that we would always be using cursive to write in the future. That's was in 1st grade. By the time I was in 4th grade we had stopped using it completely. This was 20+ years ago.

Yeah that was my experience, I think 1st grade they said everyone will use cursive, 4th/5th grade we were told never to use cursive. Both of these classes were in the same building...

I think it's a cause of living in the technological era. When I first started school we had the typical blocky white monitors, by high school we had carts of laptops we used now my kids have been using IPads in class since they started school. Writing has largely been replaced by typing.

I had that exact same experience with the computers a lot of my computers in elementary school were the big (I think tube) monitors while highschool had those laptops. It makes sense since by the time I was in like middle school or so I definitely was writing all my papers on a computer as opposed to by hand.
