All of our "younger" relatives, pre teens and teens, block print thankyou letters to us for gifts received. Any thankyou is preferable to none, but come to think of it, I haven't seen a child or teen write in cursive in a casual fashion (meaning out of school) since the 1970's....maybe NOT ALL.......just some.

Don't know what your husband is reading or where you get these facts, but in Florida, cursive writing is one of our State Standards. Students are introduced to cursive in second grade and instructed in cursive beginning in the third grade. However, with the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, more emphasis is being placed on keyboarding.
