In Sweden there was an initiative in the seventies to teach children to write like the author proposes. The reform didn't catch on very well though, in part since it's slower to write like that and in part due to teachers preferring the loop style. These days it's up to the teachers (according to an article I read, http://hans.presto.tripod.com/metro000603.html http://hans.presto.tripod.com/metro000603.html [swedish]) which style to teach.
