This is the difference between theory and practice. In theory, with proper training, it is better. In practice, it's a mess. I've said before: If you want to start hating cursive, start doing genealogy. It's takes so long for me to decipher what people were writing (they often were writing very quickly), and I learned cursive when I was younger! (I sometimes run across census pages where the census taker printed. It is vastly, vastly easier to read).
