I learned print and cursive in school (went to public school). Don't remember which grade I learned cursive, just that it was exciting yet intimidating. I do remember that after I learned it, I think we used both print and cursive in school, but I rather think we used print more. I also remember a teacher or two despairing over my handwriting. My fifth and sixth grade teacher (had the same teacher both years) was the teacher who actually got me to talk now and then, and I remember her scolding me at one point about my handwriting. It might have been the sort of conversation where the teacher asks, Don't you want your handwriting to be pretty and legible? and I think to myself, No, not particularly, but nod and try to write a bit neater just for her anyway. I think I was using mostly print at that point, but I can't remember for sure. (I don't remember what sorts of things we did in school to practice our handwriting. I'm sure we did--but I was stubborn, and plenty miserable enough that worrying about penmanship along with everything else was simply too much, so it may not have been particularly effective with me.)
After elementary school, I know that I used mostly print in school (I guess I never got very comfortable writing in cursive before, we probably hadn't used it enough). Until I started learning Spanish in 8th grade. My first two Spanish teachers required us to write everything in cursive. And--I was surprised to discover that my cursive (once I got comfortable using it) looked nice (pretty nice, anyway) and was much more legible than my print! Not to mention it was much faster for me and much more comfortable. So I eventually ended up switching to writing in mostly-cursive (which is how I generally write even now).
Nowadays, when I /do/ write in print, I can write neatly if I don't write very much, but if I'm writing much, either my handwriting gets gradually worse and worse or I eventually end up switching to mostly-cursive without realizing it.
