I ditched cursive in about grade nine. (Mid thirties now). Printed for all exams through university and high school so I think the need for cursive is zero.
It is less legible than printing and you don't need the speed when anything more than note taking is typed now. Typing quickly is likely a more important skill to learn than cursive.
For me I've gone paperless completely using a tablet and stylus for note taking now using printing for input.
I'm all for getting rid of it. One writing system (printing) is good enough for written communication.
