My tiny quibble with your post is that I wish you had included critical thinking in your first list. Other than that this is spot on.

That being said, my kids are learning cursive and I’m happy for it. It’s not something that requires years of in depth study to learn. My third grader is only a few months into school and can already read and write cursive after just starting it this year.

But if it were gone, I wouldn’t bat an eye.
