I don’t see why it can’t be taught. You can always choose not to use it later. I ditched cursive after I left high school.

Yea--if for no other reason, kids need to learn how to write their own signatures. As far as I know, almost no official documents are valid with only a print "signature."

The only downside would be that everybody is on the computer now.
But yeah, it's a quicker way to write the English language than printing. So learn it for yourself. But it's sometimes impossible to read other people's cursive because everybody personally stylizes it. I see it more as a practical thing to know how to do, not that I would read it much.

Cursive is the standard method for teaching writing to kids in Belgium.
I’m 38 years old and I still write only in cursive. 🙂

Yea. As others have pointed out, you can opt not to use it, if you want.
I've always thought that cursive is graceful ... or, can be. I used to have a pretty, and readable handwriting. Steady computer use, interfered because I wasn't using those hand muscles the way I had at one time. I started writing "stuff" to get back into practice. It worked, but I haven't kept up on the "exercises," so I'm back to writing my signature, and not much more.

I was taught it in school. One of those things that seems to have disappeared. Now I can write two words only in cursive, my first and last names.

Yea!
Kids should be able to read and write cursive. Same with taking analog clocks out of schools because kids can't read them, that
doesn't make sense, teach it.
These are skills that shouldn't be lost.

No. It's even more unnecessary today than it was when they invented it.

It should be a lower priority. You learn in elementary right, so probably yeah but I have no strong feeling about it.
