If / when I have children, I'd make it a point to teach them how to program things like that instead of just doing it by hand. Programming is a much more useful skill than cursive in 2016, and I'm sure that that'll only be more true when the time comes.

If you're taking over your kids education, you probably want to add some elements that replace it instead of just ditching handwriting altogether.
