Fraktur

At a bit of an angle to this post by

james_nicoll on cursive, the learning thereof (concerning which, I was very glad when I discovered italic writing): what about fraktur? I can read it (well, within the limits of my German vocabulary) but I understand that many modern German students and young adults can't. A whole set of classic works in older printings -- scholarship, literature -- have become illegible. Is there some point in making (German) children learn fraktur?
