So practice some educational jiu-jitsu.

Don’t call it cursive, call it calligraphy. Teach it as art. Actually introduce the kids to some the different typefaces. Have them READ ALOUD from short texts written in each form (very easy with computer fonts). Then have them master actually writing the alphabet in a select few fonts. Of course, the teachers would have to master the same skills.

But how can they argue with teaching art????

I am always impressed with the lost skills.
