My son has attention issues and his handwriting is atrocious. Strays off the lines, regularly forgets letters and punctuation, lots of errors.
We've discovered that making him write his homework in cursive slows his mental processes down enough that his accuracy and concentration are easily an order of magnitude higher than if he was printing.
Cursive has a highly practical value for some people.
