I'm inclined to agree with this, but I do know a few people who take notes in cursive (and are faster because of their extensive practice than my printing). It seems to still be a somewhat useful skill.
Perhaps it should be a high school elective subject rather than a mandatory elementary school thing. Their are much more useful things for little kids to learn anyway.
