We were taught to write cursive in 4th grade here, but nobody seemed to care whether or not we used it. So my cursive disintegrated (I always took learning to write it as an insult anyways) and my "plain" writing improved. Another reason the teachers didn't care much, I'm guessing they were at the point they just wanted to be able to read what the students were writing.

As for school curricula...

Surely. Until you smash the crystal working on one of the tractors or what have you. My dad and I both have a history of doing such things.
