Did they use cursive in the 1800s?
Yes, people wrote in cursive because it was a faster way of expressing oneself than printing. Each letter connects to the next so that the pen does not need to be picked up off of the paper. Normally, you did not write normal handwriting called "print" back then. They were taught cursive when they were very young. Cursive was the only handwriting that everybody knew. Printing was so rare.
What sort of pen did William Shakespeare write with?
No, he did not have bad handwriting. The very few examples of his writing which we have are signatures which tend to be a bit messier than ordinary handwriting anyway. But even from them it is clear that Shakespeare had learned the handwriting called "Secretary Hand" in school. Secretary Hand can look messy to modern eyes no matter how well it is done, which is probably why some people get the idea that Shakespeare had bad handwriting.

Should students be graded on their handwriting?
Very few students are bothering to learn cursive writing these days. But if something is taught, it is only fair to grade the results.
Should children be taught script in school?
Well it matters. If you mean program scripting, some kids will need it in life (like me), and others won't. I think it should only be taught in tech classes. The need for teaching cursive is a subject of great debate and is likely to continue to be so. Many believe it to be arcane and prone to abuse (sloppiness) with age, but traditionalists believe children should be taught an appreciation for the written word as an art form. The prime focus in most schools currently is literacy--grammar, spelling, and legible handwriting that usually begins with block letters. Cursive is taught later. Given school budget cuts and the push to advance studies at earlier ages, cursive may be set aside as a matter of necessity.

Cursive writing was borrowed from the Phoenicians, who seem to have pioneered it it about the 9th Century BCE.
Is cursive writing obsolete?
Research shows that the fastest and most legible handwriters avoid cursive. Highest-speed highest-legibility handwriters join only some, not all, of the letters -- making the easiest joins, skipping the rest -- and tend to use print-like forms of letters whose printed and cursive forms disagree.Learning to read cursive remains important, as long as anyone is writing in cursive -- but fortunately, it is far easier to learn to read any letter-style than to learn to write it. (I have taught five- and six-year-olds to read cursive if they could read printed books. If taught properly -- taking a few minutes per letter to show each cursive letter-form develioped from a simpler, older, and more legible version of the letter -- learning to read cursive takes anywhere from a few minutes to an hour: depending on the student's age and other factors. Even if it takes an hour, that means far less time than having to learn to write in cursive too.)
How many schools still teach cursive?
US/In 2010, the Common Core Standards Initiative removed the requirement that cursive be taught in public elementary schools. It made sense given the rise in computer usage and a greater emphasis placed on keyboarding in the school curriculum. However, several states have since reinstated the cursive requirement, thanks to lobbyists and lawmakers who advocate for the importance of the skill. So yes, some schools do still teach cursive writing.Around the world, some countries have stopped teaching cursive writing, such as Finland and Singapore.
What does an F look like in cursive?
It depends on the scheme of cursive used. In some schemes (e.g. my handwriting and most schemes found online, apparently), it's like a figure 8. In some other schemes (e.g. the one I was taught), it's like the forte used in piano scores, with small semicircle arcs on the upper right and bottom left, and a stroke across the middle.
How do you have girly hand writing?
Rather than the phrase "girly handwriting", it is better grammatically and for others to understand if you used the phrase "feminine handwriting". Most people learn to write neatly and gracefully with practice. Look online for a worksheet that shows Cursive letters as taught to 2nd and 3rd graders. Practice each letter. Go slowly. Remember that with some letters, you need to lift your pen, but other letters should connect with adjoining letters. Avoid smiley faces and circles for dots or other non-standard characters; they make writing look immature, not feminine and mature.
