    What school are you in where kids aren’t taught cursive?? This is in standard first grade program.

        Along with all the other worthless skills like playing musical instruments or getting exercise

        I am skeptical that this is possible, because you just wouldn’t be able to keep up with the necessary speed using non-cursive letters. It is SLOW.

          I wonder if there are other more faster methods of writing text down… 🤔

            There are keyboards, but usually computers/tablets/phones are banned in class. Our high school did not ban laptops on lessons (it was a very liberal school), but few people used them anyway. Then there are tests, solutions in which can also get too long to quickly write without cursive. Even here, teachers did not accept assigmnents and tests in a typed form, except during remote learning. Not to mention the formulas, which would be troublesome to type out, doubt kids would be fluent in LaTeX.
