I can feel you. But for slightly different reasons :-) It so happened that I could read fluently way before Kindergarden. (Older sister taught me) While I've been spared from Kindergarden because deemed 'too playful' this longhand thing never made any sense to me, because almost anything I've read was print, block letters, while anything longhand usually took more time to read, even if it was written nicely. So why should I write in that complicated way? I denied that stubbornly, scratching out block letters as fast or faster than the others did. Absolutely readable as I might add. Even today. This is one of the things/conventions/traditions I don't get, and probably never will.
