    Yeah, my kids are GenZ and also did. I think it was intensive for a short time in elementary school, but they have revisited at least once every year. They”know” cursive in that they can read it if it is neat enough and can laboriously spell out their name.

    I have no idea if that means anything for a legal signature, but I’m tempted to make them write me a check so they have some idea what a signature is for

      Signatures don’t even need to be cursive honestly. My signature is my first and middle initials superimposed + my last name in “cursive”; it’s really my last initial, followed by some squigglies that don’t really spell anything. So my whole signature looks cursive-ish but no one could tell my name from looking at it. And that’s fine because that’s not really what it’s used for anymore. It’s more like a logo than anything else.

      I just write really fast and messy and I’ve never had a problem.
