As an adult in this modern world I only write on paper to take quick notes if it’s faster than using an electronic device.
That being said, children need to learn cursive if for any simple reason for teaching discipline...
I love writing in cursive. Letters. Diary. Notes in church. All the time.
And to think, I used Shorthand to take class notes from freshmen in HS, through college years. It’s faster than a keyboard. Being able to take shorthand dictation got me more than one job over the years. It’s a lost art now.
