I abandoned cursive writing around grade 4 because I could print faster than I could write and it was more legible.
I found cursive writing more of an exercise to back up stuff like sentence structure and proper punctuation than something to be used on a daily basis.
Should cursive writing be taught in schools? I don't think I am qualified to say given set curriculum's and alternatives offered.
What should be taught in schools is teaching kids how to think independently at an early age and then using those skills to further the learning process.
That would pay dividends down the road.
