What’s the importance of cursive writing?

I say that there really is no true and actual significance of writing the English language in a fancy, cursive way. No offense but cursive just interferes with your mind when you do the actual writing because sometimes one can become too concerned about how their penmanship appears than what he/she actually writes down. Although penmanship is major for everyone to visually see writing, cursive is not always necessary as the style or method to have good penmanship. People all possess different styles of penmanship and that truly shows the talent of human beings and the differences we have among us. However I do say that cursive should still be taught in elementary school in whatever grade it’s always taught in, so one can recall it and just know how to write a signature or whatever in cursive correctly.
