This take is honestly bewildering to me. What do you mean “for no reason”? You learn it to write quickly and legibly. What other option is there? Writing in block letters like a kindergartener?? inb4 “bUt eVeRyThInG iS dIgItAl nOw”. I’m a programmer, about as digital as you can get, and even I whip out the pen and paper for mindmapping and notetaking.
I work in construction. To communicate on site we need to do a lot of quick ugly drawings and writing notes on site in places way too dirty to use a computer. We do it by hand, and of course we write in cursive.
I am also extremely bewildered by this post and it comments.

I was told I needed it to communicate and get a job. None of those were true. And I hated the process of learning it.
To be fair, no one can see the future, so there was no way that my teachers could know.
Sometimes life is just shit.
