Here is another article, one of many when simply Google "the decline of cursive writing".

When my grandchildren were in school I asked if they learned to write in cursive. They said "Of course, Grandpa" However, I see that their usual form is writing is block letters. My daughter is a teacher and she has a beautiful cursive writing style. I handed a check to a store clerk a while ago, a young girl. I asked, "is that the right amount?" She said I see the numbers are correct but I can't read the writing."
