What is interesting about getting rid of cursive instruction is that it is not replaced by instruction in typing/keyboarding.
The poor kids have to poke around a keyboard with two fingers having no idea that there is a vastly more efficient way to use it.

I think that’s generally true, but my youngest types faster with two fingers than the rest of the family. She taught herself on the computer before we could train her in keyboarding. It’s amazing to watch.

Yes, they definitely should be teaching keyboard skills, and early.
