I was taught cursive in pencil on double-ruled paper. Since the examples on the board were in chalk, pencil was probably a closer analogy than fountain pen would have been, though I may have felt disappointed that my letters didn't come out as pretty as the calligraphy in movies or pictures. We already knew printing from kindergarten, I suppose. I don't recall when I actually learned to make printed letters.
