I think cursive is faster. All though elementary and middle school it was required and drilled into us. In High School they said "knock that off" and print was required. I didn't get it.
And now my handwriting in both is crap because I type everything. 20 years from now our kids will likely barely be writing at all.

But yeah, teach it. It can't hurt to know it.
