Relegated in 2006 to an optional piece of learning in Ontario elementary schools, cursive writing is set to return as a mandatory part of the curriculum starting in September.

There is nothing wrong with you enjoying cursive. It should be an optional class like any art.

I personally enjoy wood working using only hand tools, however if someone needed to learn basic carpentry, I'd be showing them how to use power tools.

I agree with your overall point but not the metaphor. Printing is more like using hand tools than cursive is, given it is slower and less mechanically efficient.
