Not sure which cursive is taught in the US, but to me (having learned cursive writing in Southern Europe in the 90s) that looks surprisingly legible, if not for the quality of the picture in your link.

Except for the "double s" that looks like an "f" (that ligature was common also in fonts for bookprinting at the times, so it's not hard to figure it out if you know that), the rest looks like a better version of the calligraphy I used to have when I was 9/10 years old (and that I wish I still had, now it's a much "simplified" - in shapes, not ease of reading - version of that). Update: also the single "s" is a bit peculiar, since it's completely different at the beginning VS at the end of a word
