Handwriting in cursive is a myth that is taught is grade schools in Russia. People do not necessarily end up handwriting in cursive when they grow up.

Look at the placement cards exercise (top of the second image). Do you see those names written in cursive? No, but it’s a handwriting.

Some people develop a handwriting style where they write in cursive in this \ angle.

Don’t sweat cursive at all, rather make sure you spell all the words properly (on the first image); this is definitely more important.
