Multiple studies show the benefits of cursive on brain development, reading, writing, fine motor skills. It's used specifically for kids with any sort of dyslexia because it helps correct those issues. Kids who learn cursive have an easier time digesting writing facts.

Again, show me the studies that say it is cursive specifically and not just hand writing the notes that is helping kids to focus on what they are writing and learn it better. The actual studies don't specify cursive. Only the articles that cite the studies are trying to claim the benefits are from cursive because that's what old boomers want to hear and will click whatever articles agree with the opinions they already have.
