In fairness to cursive, some kind of cursive was the standard form of handwriting for basically all English writings up until probably the 2000s - it is legitimately very useful for anyone who might have to dig through old documentation or letters. And handwriting is an important skill to build, cognitively speaking, it has lots of second order benefits.

Definitely a less important skill than ability to actually understand computers, these days, but it does have its uses and if everybody forgot how to do it a lot of old stuff would suddenly require specialists to decipher - we're basically halfway there already, people of my generation often have to kick cursive up to older people because we were never taught it.
