Perhaps in your school. When I was in grade school learning cursive, the Q started high and looked like a 2.
I'm actually glad if they changed it.
These days, I avoid writing, but can do cursive, and will aim more for recognizable upper-case letters than standards.
Oh, yeah! It can vary from place to place and even from school to school even in the same place! There were even people saying that they can guess from which school someone graduated from based on how they do cursive. I think that's just nuts.
My cursive nowadays is just reserved for when Iโ really need to write fast, and would tend towards some kind of a personal shorthand than any sort of legibility. ๐
Not only did it look like a 2 when I learned it, there was a Ramona book where she liked the cursive Q because it looked like a 2.
