The idea is very surprising to me. I still semi regularly had to write a dozen pages for two hours exams a decade ago and I don’t see how I could have done that without writing somewhat fluidly. Print is very legible but it’s so slow.

Then again, I don’t understand how you can learn to properly write cursive without using Seyes paper and for a reason I can’t explain only France does that.

It is just a matter of practice. I did that with print without any issue, and since I used print more than cursive my print was faster.

I would guess cursive is slightly faster if you practice both equally.

Same, falling in to classes when it was simplified, but still teached and almost asked. Also with my slight fine-motor control issue it was pain. I could "text"(hand writing) quickly enough for it never being issue in any test. And it being at least somewhat readable.

Ofc, I do sign my name in cursive, but I don't think you can even read the name from that or it be consistent from one minute to next. Thankfully police didn't even care about that in ID card application. So what is the point anyway, if even the official sample isn't verified.
