There are good reasons for this. eye hand coordenation, thinking skills to interpret, teaching grammar and logic. etc.

I do historical research....and all the documents I read are in cursive. We were taught cursive at age 7. (I'm 82.)

I taught my granddaughter cursive....AND the times tables.

My kids played "store" when they were little with a old red toy cash register. Every kid had one.

And you can walk into the philosophical society building next to independence hall. you can read the actual letters Ben Franklyn wrote to George Whitfield that started the orphan boys school which became the university of Pennsylvania. The reason they don’t teach cursive writing is to prevent students from being able to read it. if they can’t read it, they will never know real history.
