re: Cursive Writing, Should this be mandated in elementary school?

Like, we have tons of problems with our educational system but phasing out cursive writing is pretty much not on the list.

It's an hour a day that could be used on improving math skills, or actual writing skills like sentence structure, wording, spelling, fundamental grammar, even creative writing which I think is criminally underappreciated.

More time on these things would have a greater long term effect in their school career and lives imo.
