The problem with cursive is it has no relation to literally anything else. The shapes are only marginally similar to print, and some letters like Z and capital F and G are downright arcane. Trying to read certain cursive, particularly bad or heavily-stylized ones, is downright impossible. Handwriting can be just as easily done using print, and is how I've always handwritten everything. The only time I use cursive is when I sign stuff, and only because I followed everyone else using cursive to sign. Print is also generally much easier to read, too; regardless the skill or style of the writer. This is distinctly different from WorProBaka ("word processing idiot"), where people of all ages (this affects nearly everyone, not just the young) forget how to write certain kanji simply because Kakijun (stroke order) and their overall complexity easily fade from memory without constant reinforcement from common use. These people can all still read the kanji they've forgotten how to write.
