I get the argument that people don't write with it anymore, so teaching kids to write it is not the best use of the limited school hours. What I don't get is not teaching kids to read it. Even if you never write a single letter in it, when you cannot read words written in your own language, that sure feels like illiteracy.

Is this good or bad for you?

As someone that was forced to complete multiple technical engineering lettering books in middle school, when AutoCad was already common practice, and didn't really love the experience...

It did teach me a few things, and help me master writing... so maybe a good idea to keep cursive around for a few weeks? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
