Learning to write cursive was the bane of my existence as a kid, and this was before computers. I never learned properly. My cursive always sucked, and was always infinitely slower to write than if I printed. To this day, anything I write by hand is printed, and if people don't like it, they can kiss my ass. Even my signature is a fusion of printing and cursive, mostly printing.
I teach high school now, and I demand that kids turn everything in on computer. If they have to write it out, they need to be extra careful about legibility and spelling: so most of them don't bother, and I get most things in electronic format.
