Au contraire - “One compelling reason for the revival of cursive writing is its cognitive benefits. Research suggests that learning cursive can enhance brain development, particularly in areas related to language, memory, and fine motor skills.

This stimulation can improve neural connectivity and contribute to overall cognitive growth, aiding students in various academic pursuits.” From the folks at UC Riverside - https://extension.ucr.edu/features/cursivewriting
