I hate to be the one to break it to you, but penmanship has been going downhill since the invention of the ball point pen, long before any of us were born.
I remember comparing my handwriting with that of my dad, who was schooled in the '30's. No comparison. And I remember comparing his handwriting with my grandmother's: Grandma's was better still.
