In the classroom, I never cared whether kids wrote in cursive or printed. My concern was that their writing be legible. In the lower grades, I think teaching cursive helps with hand-eye coordination skills, it's a step beyond and more challenging in that regard than printing. All of my primary teachers taught, and still do teach cursive. From about 4th grade on, who cares?
Grammar and usage are much more important.
