I hated learning cursive as a child, and as soon as I could get away with it, switched to writing printed non-cursive letters. BUT, I'm glad I did learn it, as just an alternate way of writing, and if I ever have a child/ren will probably try to teach them if it's not being taught in their school (which it doesn't sound like is common these days).

I don't recall that I hated cursive, but by the late 1960s (no consumer electronic keyboards anywhere) I switched to printing for all my middle-school homework. I also started omitting uppercase letters most of the time, especially at the beginning of sentences. I dont' recall any of my public school teachers trying to force me back to cursive, surprisingly. Nowadays, all-lower-case printed proper names of various advertised products is quite common, which was not the case at all fifty years ago.
