There are different types of cursive just as there are different types of joined up writing. There may be some overlap. Also, in the US people don’t generally use the term joined up writing.
That’s literally the cursive alphabet that was taught in American public schools. And most people reading the question would understand that cursive is, in fact, “joined up writing”.
Not every school teaches Zaner Bloser, especially these days-- see this for example. And I was told by some British friends over the years that joined up writing has some differences, though I’m not too familiar with the particulars. I thought joined up writing was more like this, though maybe it is just a matter of terminology.
Dude, you’re being overly pedantic over a few things I typed while entirely ignoring other parts.
The image you posted was the exact cursive alphabet that was taught in American public schools. It was THE curriculum. I’m not debating the existence of alternate styles of cursive writing. I’m saying that kids in America learned a specific style of “joined up writing” and that style was the image you posted.
When I learned how to write in “cursive” in a south Florida elementary school (early 00s), I learned that “Zaner Bloser” style he posted above. However, I’ve never heard the term “joined up writing” before today. I think you’re both just mistaking regional terms for standardized ones.
When I hear “joined-up writing” I envision his second picture. Cursive would be the first. Cursive is a type of joined-up writing but here in the US when we refer to the writing in the first image just call it cursive. Why would we use a more generic term when we have a more specific term?

For that second one, I would normally think of it as cursive, except by someone who substituted in print letters where they couldn’t remember
