My understanding is that cursive learned in school is supposed to be a launching point for your own style of script. I.e. you learn the fundamentals and then you learn the shortcuts.

We had cursive in third and fourth grade and half-uncial calligraphy in fifth grade, not because we were expected to illuminate manuscripts but because it gave us time to learn how to control our hands.
