I remember learning cursive, but I don't remember being taught to print.



It was in 4th grade. What age is that? I suppose 9 or 10ish?



Basic printing skills, yes. You still have to jot notes to your family when going out the door, sign a quick message in a birthday card, etc. I think it'd be hard to get by without knowing any kind of writing at all. Cursive though, no. It's outdated and serves no purpose.
