I believe cursive also teaches to relax the hand, when I look at young kids they almost break the pencil 😁 and any manual skill learned is useful - by that argument they could also teach origami (I'd be up for that), or maybe ikebana, or calligraphy
Oh, that would be cursive...

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at that! I also guessef that fast but sloppy cursive will still beat print letters hands down, unless you don't lift the pen, turning print into a cursive form (i.e. cheating). Thinking back to my time at USask, those who wrote print took notes very slowly. At that time you were supposed to both pay attention and take your own notes in class...

my lecture experience is pre recording (they slowly started doing that when I left), so that might be a good way. Also for accessibility.
Cursive is faster than "print" and unless you are a medical doctor writing prescriptions quite legible.
Shorthand (I interprete this as meaning stenography) is a whole new writing system. If you mean just using abbreviations, condensing the explanations down to the essentials: sure, you have to do that anyway. Using cursive for speed.

no. There are studies that prove learning is coupled to writing. And even for those "I'm a visual learner so I don't have to take notes" people. Cursive still is extremely useful and necessary. I'm grateful we are so old fashioned here...
Something I observed with my university students. The laptop and no note taking fraction did less well in exams than the hand writing note taking kids (anecdotal evidence only).
