Yes, I think we should be teaching cursive writing as it is the only form I believe authenticates our real mark on paper. I believe there is also a good link between hand-eye-memory connection by actual writing in cursive. I'd need to back that statement up with good research but in my own experience as a 10+ year educator, that is what I have found.

Yes cursive writing should be definitely taught in school. Children as it is type more than they write these days. The trend of writing is diminishing. As schools we need to be conscious about this and emphasis on writing especially cursive, which parents will not generally teach their kids.
