Its purpose has passed. We don't write with quills or dip pens anymore. Franky, we don't write by hand much at all. Maintaining two systems of writing when handwriting is rapidly being reduced makes no sense. Your situation (I'm the same) is a great demonstration.

I'd say cursive is the Roman numerals of penmanship. It's a quaint thing to use for style, but that's it.
