I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.

It's not that I never learned how to read cursive; it's that nobody actually writes it legibly.
Facts. Everybody's "personal flair" on their style of cursive becomes a cryptographic puzzle. I exclusively used cursive until about 7th grade (because it was faster to me), and I still have to decipher most handwritten cursive
Literally the only reason I use any cursive is because it's useful to distinguish when you're doing a lot of letter math for physics or calculus.
That and being able to give people thank you cards with immaculate penmanship, still don't use full cursive for that though, just slow deliberate writing with a bit of italic flair.
Ironically enough I developed my modern handwriting style basically as an act of spite against a professor I was especially cross with in my junior year.
Old bastard comes into class and yells at us about how we're the worst scoring class he's ever had and then expects me to not be in the front row visibly anger practicing my letters.
Cursive fonts should at least be consistent.
