my son's teacher told us that it helped with developing fine motor control, particularly in children that had below average motor control.

For one, is this based on research or speculation? Second there are different kinds of motor control. Following an existing pattern or shape is one type, while cursive is another because one tends to develop patterns based on personal preferences.

In 5th grade my teacher wanted to wring my neck because I was growing quite skillful in drawing and art, yet my cursive writing was worse than a drunk doctor's. I didn't see them as connected, but it was in the teacher's mind. I had a semi-impressionistic art style such that stroke precision mattered less.
