Should cursive be taught in schools?

Cursive is a form of writing in which each letter is connected. Many school are stopping teaching cursive because 'with computers, less and less people need to use it'. However, studies show that cursive can make you smarter. What do you think? Should we save the dying art of cursive?

I'm fine with people teaching cursive in school. It shouldn't be too important, but is a nice skill to acquire. I am dubious about it making you smarter though.

Side: Cursive should be taught.

I don't think it shouldn't be taught, however I'm on this side because I don't think it should have to be taught.

If cursive has anything to do with intellect, it's likely a very small difference. We learnt it briefly at school but I didn't take to it and quickly abandoned it. It's just not a style of writing which works for me, or for many other people (I know very few people who actually write using cursive).

There's much more important subjects which could be taught in the time wasted on teaching kids how to be "proper" in their handwriting.

Oh, not to mention, cursive looks like utter shit and is practically unreadable.
