The Common Core State Standards, introduced in 2010, did not include cursive writing. As a result, many states and school districts eliminated cursive instruction from their curricula. This exclusion limits students' ability to access and interpret historical documents and handwritten materials.

If you only know printing and you write enough you'll learn your own shorthand eventually. Usually a hybrid between printing and cursive.
Faster writing and more easily readable.
Nope, not faster if printing. You have to pick up the writing utensil between letters.
When you print enough, fast enough, you develope your own pattern of handwriting.
Mine manifested as a mix between printing and cursive, its a faster way for me to write, and it still has some readability from printing
Printing is the new writing because it is more readable, scribbly handwriting was a problem of their times (ink feathers). If the constitution couldve been printed for more readability it wouldve been.
So we keep the old cursive documents safe, but all new stuff is 100% typed out text for readability

I agree with that statement, my handwriting is a mix as well. The kids were never taught cursive. They can’t read it or write it, they never practiced it at all because they didn’t know how to make the letters and they were taught to print everything instead. I started teaching high school in the mid 90s. I retired in 2023. I saw the before and after and I’m telling you that the kids that were not taught how to write in cursive or made to practice cursive writing, print everything because that’s all they know how to do and they are sloooooow when it comes to taking notes. Unfortunately, writing notes, whether print or cursive, is a very good way to learn and improve retention of the information. Typing the information does not have the same retention factor that writing does.
It seems to me you would need to learn cursive in order for a hybrid type writing to develop. I often write in hybrid form. Of course if one doesn't learn cursive then I suppose their signature would be in 'printed' form.
Not all kids are smart/creative enough to do this, so they are (forever) unnecessarily hampered - by design.
