It has just now occurred to me that I don't know what cursive is. Then I googled it. Then I now realize I was the only student in my class that wrote in cursive.
I don't think it has to be "taught". In fact cursive is somewhat difficult to read if not often practiced and not done well. They should, however, emphasize on HANDWRITING! It is important that you write clearly and neatly with only ONE strike through when a mistake is made. No unnecessary scratches.
As I think about it further I believe that cursive should not be taught. They should hit you on the wrist (like they did me) if your letters are not balanced and have the same height. Cursive is difficult to master as well as read and even harder if the writing is that of 7 chickens.
