I've heard in Europe the kids are taught script using fountain pens, which are actually faster when you don't pick up a pen.

In the US, 25+ years ago when cursive was taught, we were largely using pencils and crappy bic pens. At which point, you don't really get the benefit of staying in contact with the paper for longer.

This might be part of the disconnect.
