        if handwriting is rarely useful to adults, then why are offices full of scribbled whiteboards, notes and post-its?

        Studies have been done, students taking notes this way learn and retain more vs. typing. It is not a waste of time.

        It does matter, entire Western histories have been written in cursive. Discontinue it at the risk of losing that info.

        Those who can't read cursive can't read Edison's notes, a family album, the US Constitution or a letter from Grandma.

        Yes. Kids who can't in write cursive also can't read it. That's a problem.
