Beyond a shadow of a doubt, once you reach adult life cursive becomes a rare sight indeed. I agree that it is becoming a lost art as we age, and that thier are better uses of that time. As an art cursive is a lowly form, I suggest instead that some time be used to teach kids how to read it, and the rest of that time be used to teach caligraphy. Caligraphy would help with both normal writing and script. It would also teach a discipline and apreciation for writing.

Agree on calligraphy. I took a class years ago and immediately switched from cursive to italic printing, which I still use. It looks a lot better.
