To be fair, penmanship was stressed for prior generations, as computers entered school, and timelines got condensed (compare Kindergarten even 10 years ago to now) kids are expected to know more, and do things like scantrons, not essay write. They are either not taught cursive or it's covered quickly.
When I was younger and had to hand write sooooooooo much my handwriting was better than it is today where the only thing I hand write is quick post it notes or entries on calendars, or showing my kids what to do. I haven't forgotten how to do it, I just don't waste time being neat (except for showing my kids, then I'm precision).
Sit down and practice how you want to do your signature for 5 minutes a day for a couple weeks and you'll improve, "designing" a signature rather than simple cursive writing of your name is the hardest part.
