This is not the case in the US (anymore) and atleast some places in Europe. Print gets taught first and you learn to write with that, then cursive comes later, by this point usually as an afterthought.

That was also the case for me, but the time between that is some weeks to a few months, and you train writing (perfect) spirals in that time.


I didn't start to learn cursive until fourth grade, and then we did that only for a few weeks or months, and then it never showed up again.
