I was born at the end of the 80s and there was a funny thing called "simplified cursive" in Germany. I struggled for the rest of my life with that and already half gave up on cursive while still attending the German equivalent of high school. Maybe that was partly caused by me prematurely being put into school (1-2 years early), but some letters still feel like a motoric and decisional exercise because I couldn't quite decide how to write e.g. lower-case "l", where the "simplified" and the non-simplified version differed. My solution at high school was already to discard cursive completely. At the time, this ceased to be a problem as grades progressed.
