Chris,
If by good old running writing you mean what I learnt 50 years ago, then yes. Even that was not the immaculate copperplate my Mum still writes.
My sisters, two and four years younger, were taught Cursive and then Modified Cursive. Printed capitals, no loops on b,f,g,... but joined.
SWMBO is an Assistant Principal at one of the nearby Primary Schools and has taught writing for over 30 years.
She thinks NSW Foundation Style has been in use for over 20 years but can only find a syllabus dating back to 1997. See the last page of

Most letters join, some don't.
