But writing is learning. Brains use sensory feedback to remember and recall. Cursive is just a method of faster writing. The physical act of forming the letters leads to better recall of what is being written. Reorganizing and rewriting does even better. Learning to write is as important as learning to read and learning to do math. There are good ways and bad ways to learn. It's too bad this skill is being neglected and people turn to measurably worse methods of learning.

Learning cursive isn’t learning to write. As a kid I spent copious amounts of time learning to fit the sweep of my cursive to a rigid meter, and form them just so… it was closer to learning to draw than to write (which I could already do)

Do you have any proof of that?

I’m 50 years old. I haven’t used cursive since third grade or so. I’ve had no problems learning while sticking to print letters.
