This reminds me of the time I tried and failed to learn cursive, back in 1990. I told my teacher Mrs Stupidhead (possibly not her real name but who knows anymore) that in the future we would all be typing everything onto computers and that computers would talk to each other and that computers would allow us to save anything we wanted to write, like very advanced notebooks, and that’s why I should not have to waste my time learning cursive.

My oldest is just a few years younger than you apparently are. I’ll note with some satisfaction that by the time he got to the 2nd grade, they didn’t even bother trying to teach cursive.
